Product Description

The Arrowhead CAP OIL FILTER is designed for use with select Mercedes-Benz engines, serving as the essential screw-on cap for the oil filter housing. This component securely seals the oil filter in place, helping to maintain proper oil pressure and prevent leaks within the engine. Its robust plastic construction includes an integrated cage structure, which assists in the correct positioning and stability of the filter element.

This cap is compatible with various Mercedes-Benz models, particularly those equipped with the M271 engine series, such as W203, W204, W211, and SLK R171. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, production year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure the correct fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing or damaged oil filter cap include oil seepage around the filter housing, difficulty maintaining oil pressure, or visible cracks and wear on the cap itself. You may also notice increased oil consumption, a loose or rattling filter cap, or dashboard warning lights related to oil pressure.

Replacement of the oil filter cap is recommended whenever you notice signs of wear, damage, or oil leakage during routine servicing. It should also be replaced if the cap no longer threads securely or the integrated cage structure is compromised.
