BMW Engine Oil Filter - Mahle 11427512300

Product Information

One of the most important components of your vehicle is its oil filter. Early engines didn't have the tight tolerances and fragile technologies as they do today such as variable valve timing controlled by electronically controlled oil pressure. Instead, they were less complex, didn't use oil filters, and ran on the poorest grade oil imaginable. Today there are various types of oil filters used and the truth is that they are not all created equal. Purchasing a high-quality Original Equipment oil filter is imperative as they conform to the highest of industry standards designed by the manufacturers for your vehicle. For example, there are some aftermarket oil filters out there that used the poorest quality filter media material. The poor quaility media tends to break down quickly under normal driving conditions and can actually induce particles into your oil instead of filtering them out. Small particles can make their way into the crankcase damaging crankshafts, bearings, and other high-dollar components. When choosing oil and an oil filter for your car, make sure you choose high-quality components, for your engine's sake.

• Crumbling Filter Media
• Torn Filter Media

About Mahle

Mahle began in 1920 when pistons made of heavy gray cast iron were being used in internal combustion engines for automobiles and there was a need for a new design. The Mahle brothers countered this trend by producing light-alloy pistons at their small, newly established company however the technology was still finicky and problems come up frequently. They soon determined that they needed to come up with a solution to keep dirt and dust out of the engine so they eventually developed air and oil filters as well. Their perseverance paid off and the light-alloy pistons began to take over the market. Today, half of all automobiles produced worldwide contain MAHLE components. MAHLE offers an extensive range of parts for everyone including pistons, cylinder liners, piston ring sets, bearings, assemblies, valves, valve train components, and air, oil, fuel, and cabin air filters. Their catalog and online database of aftermarket engine components is an indispensable reference.
