Continued Expansion of Oil Filter Housing Kits
Standard Motor Products, Inc. (SMP) is excited to share its latest developments in oil filter housing solutions. The company has successfully broadened its range of Oil Filter Housing Kits and Assemblies, showcasing significant enhancements over original equipment models. These new offerings are designed specifically for various vehicle applications, ensuring that they fit perfectly rather than providing a one-size-fits-all solution.
Innovative Design Features
The Standard® Oil Filter Housing Kits are not just an upgrade; they come factory-assembled with the sensors and oil filter already integrated, streamlining the installation process for technicians. Each kit is equipped with new hardware and manifold gaskets, facilitating a complete and efficient setup right out of the box.
Addressing Common Weaknesses
Original equipment oil filter housings, particularly those used in Pentastar V6 engines, often experience issues such as oil leakage. To counteract this problem, Standard® engineers conduct extensive research on OE units, identifying vulnerabilities and implementing design improvements. A notable enhancement involves the installation of O-rings on core plugs, effectively preventing leaks.
Focus on Durability
Built using Zytel®, a high-strength synthetic material known for its resistance to heat and durability, these oil filter housings provide longevity and reliability. SMP pays careful attention to the specific needs of each vehicle model, ensuring that modifications reflect the latest flow rates and sensor changes.
New Applicable Models
Most recently, Standard® has launched the OFH136, a versatile component designed for various Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep models produced between 2016 and 2018. The development includes solutions for the well-known Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, highlighting Standard's commitment to producing vehicle-specific solutions.
In addition to the Pentastar line, the company is continually expanding its coverage to include newer vehicle models. Recent developments also feature kits for the 2016 to 2023 Toyota Tacoma, 2017 to 2019 Infiniti QX30, and the 2015 to 2019 Ford Transit, showcasing the breadth of their product line.
Complete Installation Solution
Each Standard® Oil Filter Housing Kit guarantees a hassle-free installation, coming fully assembled and including all necessary components. Beyond just the filter, the package encompasses gaskets, seals, and hardware that precisely match the thermal specifications of the original designs.
