Description
Designed to meet and exceed strict German OEM engineering standards, the Hengst Auto Engine Oil Filter Cartridge delivers exceptional particle capture efficiency, continuous oil flow, and long-term protection for modern high-performance powertrains. As an innovative pioneer in metal-free oil filtration (Energetic® concept), Hengst engineered this replacement cartridge to fit precisely inside modern oil filter housings, allowing for easy, mess-free serviceability while reducing environmental waste. Built using fully synthetic and resin-impregnated cellulose filter media, it reliably traps microscopic contaminants—including abrasive soot, metallic particles, and degraded sludge—before they can circulate through sensitive engine components such as turbochargers, variable valve timing actuators (VVT), and crankshaft bearings. Built to withstand extreme thermal stresses, high-pressure oil surges, and aggressive chemical additives found in modern full-synthetic oils, the Hengst Oil Filter Cartridge maintains structural stability across extended service intervals (Longlife Service). It is the ideal replacement solution for European auto specialists, parts importers, and professional commercial fleet operations worldwide.
Technical Parameters
| Category | Specifications & Technical Details |
| Composite Synthetic / Cellulose Filter Media & Beta Ratio | Utilizes phenolic resin fiber and full-synthetic fiber composite filter paper impregnated with deep-layer resin. Its filtration efficiency for suspended particles ≥ 10 μm (microns) reaches over 99% (Beta ratio β₁₀ ≥ 100). It efficiently intercepts metal debris, carbon deposits, and sludge that cause engine wear, while ensuring smooth oil flow during extreme cold starts. |
| Metal-Free Energetic® Sustainable Construction | Both the filter end caps and center tube are made from heat-recoverable high-strength engineering plastic, completely free of metal components. This design not only reduces engine component weight, but also allows direct non-toxic incineration during maintenance replacement, fully compliant with strict European waste environmental recycling standards. |
| Thermal & Chemical Resistance Limit | The filter paper and end cap adhesive can withstand continuous high-temperature oil baking up to 140°C to 150°C for extended periods, with exceptional anti-aging performance. Even when soaked in highly corrosive additives and long-life oil (Longlife Oil), the filter paper will not soften, deform, rupture, or debond. |
| Optimized Pleat Geometry & Pressure Drop | Utilizes patented pleat embossing technology to ensure filter paper pleats maintain uniform spacing under high-pressure oil impact, never sticking or collapsing together. Pressure drop at normal temperature rated flow is less than 0.15 bar, effectively reducing oil pump supply resistance and preventing engine dry wear due to oil starvation. |
| O-Ring Elastomer Sealing & Anti-Drainback / Bypass Compatibility | Each filter element comes with OEM-grade ACM / FKM (acrylate / fluororubber) high-temperature resistant sealing rings, maintaining elasticity under extreme temperature differentials from -40°C to +150°C, preventing housing oil leakage. Precisely matched to the OEM housing’s built-in anti-drainback valve and bypass valve pressure differential requirements, preventing oil backflow during shutdown that causes cold-start dry friction. |
Applicable Car Brands & Models
A traditional spin-on filter houses the element inside an integrated metal canister, requiring the entire assembly to be discarded during oil changes. An oil filter cartridge consists solely of the filtration media, endcaps, and seals, which sit inside a permanent housing on the engine. Cartridges dramatically cut down on metal waste, are easier to recycle/incinerate, and allow technicians to visually inspect the used element for metallic engine wear debris.
Yes, absolutely. Every Hengst oil filter cartridge kit includes fresh, OEM-grade elastomer O-rings. Reusing old O-rings can lead to oil leaks, fluid pressure drop, or seal degradation due to thermal hardening. Technicians should always lubricate the new O-ring with fresh engine oil before installation.
Hengst cartridges are manufactured to support flexible OEM maintenance schedules. They should generally be replaced at every engine oil change interval—typically every 7,500 to 15,000 miles (10,000 to 25,000 km) or once per year, depending on vehicle manufacturer specifications, oil type (full synthetic Longlife oil), and driving conditions.
Hengst oil filter cartridges are individually packaged in sealed, grease-proof cardboard cartons containing the filter element and matching O-ring kit. Master cartons typically contain 10 to 50 individual boxes. For wholesale export orders, MOQs start from 50 to 100 units per individual part number, with rapid dispatch options for popular fast-moving stock.
