Oil filter modules EXPERT KITS+
Oil filter, oil filter housing and oil cooler combined as a practical oil filter module for efficient repairs
Available languages:
Engine oil is crucial for the performance of the engine – it provides the necessary lubrication, helps with cooling and protects against wear. But for it to do its job reliably, it needs the right support from oil filters and oil coolers. The high-quality EXPERT KITS+ oil filter modules from VEMO combine oil filters, oil filter housing and oil coolers including the necessary accessories – the perfect combination of quality and efficiency to make your work easier.
How do oil filter, oil cooler and oil filter housing work?
Oil filter – clean oil, healthy engine
The oil filter is a key component in ensuring the service life and efficiency of the engine. Its main task is to remove impurities such as dirt, metal particles or residues from the engine oil. In this way, it protects sensitive components such as pistons and bearings from excessive wear and ensures consistently high engine performance. A modern oil filter consists of several components:
- Filter element: Removes the smallest dirt particles from the oil.
- Return valve: Prevents the filter from running empty when the engine is switched off, thus ensuring rapid oil circulation at the next start.
- Pressure relief valve: Protects the engine by maintaining the oil flow if the filter is clogged.
Oil cooler – temperature control for optimum performance
The oil cooler has an equally important task: it regulates the temperature of the engine oil by dissipating excess heat. This keeps the oil stable and allows it to optimally fulfil its lubricating function. There are two main types of oil cooler:
- Air-cooled oil coolers: They cool the oil by circulating air. They are robust and easy to maintain.
- Water-cooled oil coolers: They utilise the engine’s cooling water circuit and offer particularly efficient cooling.
Oil filter housing – more than just a mounting point
The oil filter housing combines the various components of the oil filter module to form a functional unit.
It serves as a central attachment point for the oil filter and – depending on the application – also for the oil cooler. It also ensures efficient oil flow through the individual components and protects the filter from external influences.
Typical faults and symptoms: How do you recognise whether a replacement is necessary?
The oil filter, the oil filter housing and the oil cooler are all essential for the proper functioning of the engine. If one of these components is defective, this can lead to a number of symptoms that should be recognised in good time in order to avoid annoying and overpriced consequential damage. Here are the most common signs of a defect:
❌ Engine oil temperature rises
If the oil cooler is no longer working properly, the engine oil may overheat. An increase in oil temperature is a clear warning signal. Excessively high temperatures in the engine oil can impair lubricity and place a heavy load on the engine. If the vehicle’s temperature display frequently shows high values, the oil cooler may be damaged and must be checked.
❌ Sludge in the engine oil (cooling water/oil mixture)
Another clear sign of a problem in the oil circuit is the formation of sludge in the engine oil. This happens when cooling water gets into the oil, which often indicates a leak in the oil cooler. The water-oil mixture has a milky consistency and is a clear indication of a possible leak in the oil cooler.
❌ Leaks in the engine block (cooling water or engine oil)
Leaks in the engine block, whether caused by cooling water or engine oil, can indicate a problem with the oil cooler or the oil filter housing. Cracks in the housing can lead to leaks, especially in older vehicles. A damp spot under the vehicle or on the engine parts may indicate a leak in these parts.
❌ Engine noise and power loss
A worn oil filter or oil cooler can lead to insufficient lubrication and cooling, which can result in loud engine noises and a noticeable loss of power. In particular, if the oil filter is clogged and the oil can no longer circulate effectively, the engine can suffer from poor lubrication, which significantly shortens the service life of the engine.
VEMO EXPERT KITS+: Your recipe for success for the fastest repair
When oil filters or oil coolers need to be replaced, it’s not just the quality of the individual parts that matters, but also the practicality of the repair. This is precisely why the VEMO EXPERT KITS+ were developed. They are more than just spare parts kits: they are the key to a smooth, efficient and reliable repair. You get everything you need to solve engine problems in one go – quickly, reliably and with an all-round sense of security.
✅ An unbeatable advantage: everything you need in one kit!
With the VEMO EXPERT KITS+, repairing oil filters and oil coolers is child’s play. Instead of painstakingly searching for individual parts, you get everything you need in a perfectly coordinated kit – including screws, seals and housing. Every component fits precisely and ensures a smooth process that minimises complaints and delights your customers. You not only save valuable time, but also nerves: no reorders, no waiting for missing parts – simply unpack, get started and deliver impressive results in record time. The result? Satisfied customers who trust you – and who are happy to come back!
✅ Quality you can trust – OE standards that inspire
With the VEMO EXPERT KITS+, you are opting for maximum precision and long-lasting performance. Each component meets the strict requirements of the original parts and guarantees a perfect fit and exceptional robustness. This uncompromising quality not only gives you peace of mind during repairs, but also the good feeling of delivering first-class work to your customers.
✅ The formula for success for a reliable repair
The oil filter and oil cooler work like a well-oiled team to optimally cool and lubricate the engine. If one of the parts is defective, it often takes the other with it. Replacing the oil filter and oil cooler at the same time not only ensures maximum functionality, but also protects against expensive consequential damage. With the VEMO EXPERT KITS+, you are on the safe side – for long-term reliability that your customers will appreciate.
Additional protection that inspires – aluminium instead of plastic
The weak point of plastic: common problems and risks
When it comes to repairs, every detail counts and choosing the right material often makes all the difference. While many standard oil filter modules are made of plastic, the optional aluminium version of the VEMO EXPERT KITS+ sets new standards in terms of reliability and durability. Why? Plastic may appear favourable at first glance, but this is precisely where the risks lurk: increased risk of breakage, especially during installation, as well as lower resistance to pressure and temperature fluctuations.
Practical experience: What workshops report
Regular discussions with workshops that are confronted with these challenges on a daily basis confirm our experience: Plastic oil filter modules often fail at crucial points. Mechanics report hairline cracks that occur during installation or premature wear that results in expensive consequential damage. These weak points are not only annoying, but also cost time, money and, above all, trust.
Our improved aluminium versions: For repairs that deliver what they promise
With the aluminium version, we offer a tried and tested solution that specifically addresses these problems. The material impresses with its superior robustness and is extremely stable even under high loads. No breakage, no cracks – but a long-lasting result that will satisfy you and your customers. The reinforced construction protects against leaks and ensures optimum heat dissipation, which sustainably increases the performance and service life of the motor.
