Tridon Oil Filter Cap - TCC031

Tridon Oil Filter Cap

Designed for engines that use a cartridge oil filter, the oil filter cap will screw into a metal or alloy filter housing to hold your cartridge filter in place. In most replacement cartridge oil filters there will also contain a rubber or neoprene seal that is to replace the existing seal on the oil filter cap. By replacing this seal along with your cartridge oil filter you will enable a tight seal as you screw the filter cap back into the housing.

Failure to replace this filter cap seal may result in oil leaking from the housing or cap to cause mess and potential fire hazards. It is also important to note that each oil filter cap has a specific torque setting when tightening. Too loose and you may experience oil leaks, whilst too tight and you risk snapping the filter cap, moulded nut on top or alloy filter housing. Any of these occurences will incur further cost and time to remove and replace.
