In order for internal combustion engines to operate with little wear, they must be lubricated. Part of the oil required for this burns out due to the large amount of heat generated and must be removed from the oil using a suitable filter. Metal debris and other dirt is also trapped by the oil filter. The oil filter is housed in a matching oil filter housing which is sealed with a finely fitted cap and appropriate seal. Oil must not leak from the circuit, both to ensure constant lubrication of the engine and to protect the environment.

The functionality of an oil filter housing

The HOFFER brand Housing, oil filter is an important part of engine power supply. It is installed in the oil filter, which keeps the engine oil clean. The oil filter housing is a plastic nut. To replace the oil filter, unscrew the plastic nut that holds the paper cartridge. However, regardless of the type of these filters, it is important to replace them when you change your engine oil. If this is not done, then this can lead to rapid wear of the oil and the loss of its corresponding properties.
