Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with a thickened steel canister to withstand high pressure and prevent "ballooning" or bursting under extreme operating conditions.
Anti-Drainback Valve: Equipped with a premium silicone valve that keeps oil in the filter when the engine is off, ensuring a "wet start" and reducing wear during those first few seconds of ignition.
Precision Fit: Specifically threaded and sized to match the MD-017440 footprint, ensuring a perfect seal and easy installation without the risk of cross-threading.

Maintenance Recommendation
To maximize engine longevity, we recommend replacing your EE-181 oil filter every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or as specified by your vehicle manufacturer. Regular filter changes are the most cost-effective way to prevent premature engine failure.
