On-Engine Oil Filter Module

This material is a hydrolysis-resistant PA 6/6 modified during polymerization to increase hot glycol resistance at temperatures from 120-130C and extend hot-air heat-aging performance.  It also offers reduced swelling and improved weld strength in this application that is subject to oil and coolant contact.  Because the material’s higher heat and chemical resistance, it allowed this oil-filter module to be mounted directly in the engine valley, eliminating 148 parts, reducing weight 43%, and saving over 60% direct costs, plus indirect costs owing to greater reliability.
