Construction & Design:

The Pro Guard D2 Oil Filter is built with premium materials engineered for strength and reliability. Its synthetic NF21 media offers a balance of maximum filtration and minimal flow restriction, crucial for maintaining engine health in high-demand environments.

A heavy-duty coil spring maintains consistent pressure on the filter element, ensuring proper sealing and filtration throughout the service interval. The nitrile rubber gasket creates a secure, leak-proof seal between the filter and engine, preventing oil loss and contamination.
