Febi 180090 Oil Filter Housing Cap

Description

The Febi Oil Filter Housing Cap is a critical component of the engine's lubrication system, responsible for sealing the oil filter housing and maintaining oil pressure. It is commonly used in a variety of vehicle makes and models to ensure proper engine function. This cap provides a secure and reliable seal, preventing oil leaks and maintaining optimal oil flow to protect vital engine components. Manufactured in China, this cap measures 110 x 100 x 100 mm and is identified by MPN 180090.

Key Features & Benefits

This cap basically seals the oil filter housing. It’s got a gasket, usually rubber or a composite material, that creates a tight seal when everything’s put together. It also often has threads where the oil filter attaches, and sometimes a spot for a sensor, like an oil pressure sensor. It keeps the oil in where it needs to be, and keeps debris out. Think of it as the lid to the container that holds your oil filter. The oil filter itself cleans the oil, and this cap keeps all that contained, pressurized, and working correctly. It’s a key part of your engine’s lubrication system. Without it, you’d have a major oil leak, and that's a quick road to engine damage.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's really important because a failure here means oil loss, plain and simple. Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, and losing it quickly leads to serious problems – worn bearings, overheating, things like that. This cap acts like a shield, protecting the oil and ensuring proper lubrication. You’ll notice if this part fails, usually by a significant oil leak under the car, or the oil pressure light coming on. It’s a relatively small part, but a vital one. You can find a replacement for most vehicles at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s something you want to address right away if you suspect an issue.
