The job of the oil filter is to protect the engine against impurities in the oil such as dust, metal particles, combustion residue or soot particles.
With modern engines it is vital that replacement oil filters are made to the same high standards that the vehicle manufacturer specifies. Filters not made to this specification could lead to poor engine performance and damage.
Bosch have a comprehensive range of oil filters covering most vehicles on the road today. So make sure you insist on Bosch oil filters when replacing them in your car.

As one of the pioneers of injection systems, Bosch recognized the importance of protecting these sensitive systems at an early stage. This expertise and attention to detail has been consistently applied to every filter carrying the Bosch brand.
