The MAHLE Oil Filter OX351D functions by removing contaminants from your engine oil. As oil circulates through the engine, it picks up dirt, metal particles, and other debris. The filter's media traps these harmful particles, preventing them from recirculating and causing wear to critical engine components. This ensures that clean oil lubricates the engine, promoting smooth operation and extending engine life.

5. Mantenimiento

The primary maintenance for your MAHLE Oil Filter OX351D is timely replacement. Oil filters should be replaced according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, typically during every oil change. Factors such as driving conditions (e.g., heavy towing, extreme temperatures, frequent short trips) may necessitate more frequent oil and filter changes.

Always use the correct oil type and viscosity specified by your vehicle manufacturer to ensure optimal filtration and engine protection.

6. Solución de problemas

While oil filters are generally reliable, issues can arise. Here are some common troubleshooting points:

• Oil Leaks After Replacement: This is often due to improper installation of the filter housing cap or seals. Ensure O-rings are correctly seated and lubricated, and the cap is tightened to the specified torque.
• Advertencia de baja presión de aceite: A severely clogged oil filter can restrict oil flow, leading to low oil pressure. If this occurs, replace the filter immediately and check oil levels.
• Ruido del motor: In rare cases, a faulty or severely clogged filter might contribute to engine noises due to inadequate lubrication. Ensure the filter is replaced as per schedule.

If you experience persistent issues after replacing your oil filter, consult a professional mechanic.
