Construction & Design

The Pro Guard D2 Oil Filter is meticulously engineered with premium materials to endure the harsh environments typical of diesel and performance gasoline engines. Its NF21 synthetic media offers superior contaminant retention while maintaining excellent oil flow, critical for engines with tight tolerances and high compression ratios. The wire-backed filter media prevents collapse under pressure, ensuring consistent filtration performance.

The filter’s canister features a thick 0.100" base plate and a heavy-duty coil spring, contributing to an impressive 600 lb. burst strength rating. This robust design protects against external damage and high internal pressures common in turbocharged and heavy-duty applications. Additionally, the heavy-duty nitrile rubber gasket guarantees a secure, leak-free seal to prevent oil loss and contamination ingress.
