MAN 82055016001 Oil Filter Housing

Description

The MAN 82055016001 oil filter head is a critical component of the engine's lubrication system, responsible for securely housing and supporting the oil filter itself. It is commonly used in diesel engines to ensure proper oil flow and filtration, protecting the engine from wear and contaminants. This oil filter head measures 71 x 76 x 90 mm and contributes to extended engine life through optimized oil delivery and enhanced filtration efficiency. Its robust construction ensures durability and reliable performance under demanding operating conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

This is basically the container that holds your oil filter. It's a metal housing, usually aluminum, and it securely mounts to the engine. It’s got threaded connections for the oil filter to screw into, and inlet and outlet ports for the oil to flow through. It's pretty straightforward mechanically, but vitally important. Think of it as a central hub in your lubrication system. Oil gets pumped up from the oil pan, goes through the oil filter inside this housing to get cleaned, and then gets circulated back around the engine to keep everything running smoothly. It’s a pressure vessel, really – it’s designed to withstand the oil pressure your engine generates. It’s connected directly to the engine block, so it’s a core part of the engine’s operation.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It keeps the oil contained and directs it where it needs to go. If the housing cracks or the seals fail, you’ll have a major oil leak, and that’s obviously bad news. You'll notice if it’s failing – usually a big oil spot under your car or the oil pressure light coming on. It acts like a shield protecting the engine from unfiltered oil, and if that protection fails, things can wear out quickly. Replacing this isn’t super complicated, but it is important to get right. You can find these pretty easily online – Fixparts Online has a good selection, for example – just make sure you get the right one for your make and model. Ignoring a problem with the oil filter housing can lead to serious engine damage, so it’s definitely something to address when you spot an issue.
