Plastic Oil Strainer



Moving from traditional welded steel to plastic for the oil strainer saved 100 g of weight, a 50% reduction, for improved fuel economy. Vehicle testing (at over 200,000 km of driving) confirms the durability of the application. A 35% glass-reinforced polyamide 6/6 was used for strength and chemical resistance and was overmolded onto the steel-mesh screen for a stronger bond and increased durability.
