Description / Abstract:
This specification defines the dimensional and performance
requirements for aftermarket spin-on oil filters intended for use
on gasoline engines. Filters meeting this specification may also be
suitable for use on some diesel applications.
Filters meeting these dimensional limits are intended to meet
the oil filter fit and package requirements for engine and vehicle
designs.
Filters meeting the performance requirements are intended to
maintain sufficient durability to support many of the OEM's
recommended oil change intervals. Some OEM engines may require
special filters for which this specification would not support.
