EE 251 Oil Filter

EE-251 Heavy-Duty Oil Filter

Protect your heavy-duty diesel engine with the EE-251 Oil Filter. Engineered for high-compression environments, this filter offers superior contaminant holding capacity and burst strength, making it the ideal replacement for the 15208-89TA1 OEM part.

Whether you are operating a commercial Isuzu truck, a Nissan UD, or a GMC Tiltmaster, the EE-251 ensures your engine oil stays clean, maintaining oil pressure and preventing premature wear on critical components.

Key Features:

  • Heavy-Duty Construction: Thicker canister walls designed to withstand high oil pressure surges common in diesel engines.

  • High-Efficiency Media: Traps soot, metal shavings, and sludge without restricting oil flow.

  • Perfect Seal: Heavy-gauge base plate and premium gasket prevent leaks under load.

  • Exact Fit: A direct replacement for OEM number 15208-89TA1 and 8-97096777-0.
