Product Description
This Arrowhead CAP OIL FILTER is designed as an ENGINE OIL FILTER SCREW ON CAP for Mercedes-Benz diesel models. It serves as the upper housing for the oil filter cartridge, ensuring a tight seal and proper alignment within the engine's oil filtration system. The cap features a robust plastic construction with integrated flow channels to support optimal oil circulation and filtration.
Fitment is specific to a range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including certain A-Class, B-Class, C-Class, E-Class, Sprinter, and Vito models equipped with diesel engines. Always check your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
Common symptoms of a faulty oil filter cap include oil leaks around the filter housing, difficulty removing or tightening the cap, visible cracks or warping, dashboard oil pressure warnings, or dirty oil bypassing the filter. You may also notice increased engine noise or contamination in the oil if the cap is not sealing properly.
It is recommended to replace the oil filter cap if you notice signs of damage, wear, or oil leakage during routine servicing or oil changes. Regular inspection during filter replacement helps prevent issues related to poor sealing or cap failure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of worn brake pads or brake components?
Common signs may include squealing or grinding noises when braking, reduced stopping ability, a soft brake pedal, vibration under braking, or the brake warning light on your dashboard. Because brakes are safety-critical, diagnosis and inspection by a qualified mechanic is recommended before replacement.
Can I replace only one side of the brakes?
Brake pads and discs are normally replaced as an axle set (both sides at the same time) to maintain balanced, even braking. Replacing only one side can cause the vehicle to pull when braking. Consult a qualified mechanic for guidance.
