Construction & Design

The Pro Guard D2 Oil Filter is constructed with premium materials engineered for strength and reliability. Its NF21 synthetic filter media strikes a balance between maximum contaminant capture and minimal flow restriction, essential for maintaining engine health in demanding environments. The media is reinforced with a wire backing to prevent collapse under pressure, ensuring consistent filtration performance.

The canister boasts a 600-pound burst strength rating, capable of withstanding extreme operating conditions. The thick steel base plate provides a solid foundation for the filter assembly, while the heavy-duty coil spring maintains consistent pressure on the filter element to ensure proper sealing throughout the service interval. A nitrile rubber gasket creates a secure, leak-proof seal between the filter and engine, preventing oil loss and contamination.
