MAN 81055040023 engine oil filter element

Description

This engine oil filter element is a crucial component of the lubrication system, designed to remove contaminants and ensure optimal engine performance. It is used in MAN engines to protect critical parts from wear and tear. This filter effectively captures dirt, metal particles, and other debris, promoting extended engine life and reliable operation. The MAN MPN for this filter is 81055040023, and it measures 95 x 95 x 115 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing’s job is pretty straightforward. It cleans the oil. Engine oil gets dirty as it circulates, picking up bits of metal, combustion particles, and just general gunk. The filter element is what physically traps all that stuff, allowing clean oil to keep flowing and lubricating everything. It’s basically a fine mesh screen inside a metal can – it doesn't make the oil better, it keeps it good. It sits in the oil filter housing, which is usually somewhere on the engine block. Oil gets pumped from the oil pan, through the filter element, and then on to lubricate all the moving parts. Think of it as a crucial part of the circulatory system for your engine. Without good oil flow and filtration, things wear out quickly. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, and they're usually pretty easy to swap out during an oil change.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, clean oil is the lifeblood of your engine. If the filter gets clogged, oil flow gets restricted. That means parts don’t get properly lubricated, and that leads to wear and tear. Over time, that can cause serious engine damage – we’re talking worn bearings, scored cylinder walls, things like that. You’ll notice if it’s really bad, usually with a drop in oil pressure, maybe some engine noise. But ideally, you replace it regularly, along with the oil, to prevent problems before they start. It acts like a shield, protecting the more expensive parts of your engine. It's a relatively inexpensive part, so keeping it fresh is just good preventative maintenance.
