The ECOGARD X5230~E8 Engine Oil Filter is engineered to provide reliable engine protection for up to 5,000 miles. This spin-on filter features a height of 4.72 inches and an outer diameter of 2.99 inches, ensuring a precise fit for various engine applications. Designed with a one-piece spiral wound, corrugated center tube, it maximizes collapse strength, enhancing the filter's durability under high-pressure conditions. The molded nitrile anti-drain back valve prevents dry starts by retaining oil within the filter when the engine is off, while the pressure relief valve ensures continuous engine lubrication by maintaining optimal oil flow. The heavy-duty filter body is constructed to withstand five times the normal oil pressure, and the precision-forged threads on the baseplate facilitate secure installation. These design elements collectively contribute to the filter's efficiency in removing particles as small as 30 microns, thereby safeguarding engine components and maintaining optimal performance. The ECOGARD X5230~E8 is compatible with a range of vehicles, including certain models from American Motors, Buick, Cadillac, and more, as detailed in the product specifications.
