Oil filter P7380 comes in different types, mainly based on the mode of operation and the type of material used for filtration. They include:
Spin-on oil filters
These oil filters are often encased in metal and resemble soda cans. They are mounted directly onto the engine and are easy to remove and install. Spin-on oil filters are designed for a quick change, making them a popular choice among vehicle owners.
Screw-in oil filters
They are commonly used in older vehicles. The filters are installed using screws, which makes them more secure and less prone to leakage. However, they are more challenging to remove, often requiring special tools.
Magnetic oil filters
These oil filters use magnets to attract and capture metallic particles from the engine oil. They prevent metal debris from circulating in the engine oil, thereby reducing engine wear and extending the lifespan of the oil filter.
Electric oil filters
The electric oil filters are increasingly becoming popular. They are integrated into the vehicle's electrical system and use sensors to monitor oil quality. The filters automatically adjust their filtration level based on real-time oil quality data.
Oil filter P7380 cartridges
These are housing that contains the filtering element. They are often installed inside a filter housing on the engine. Oil filter cartridges are easy to replace and more environmentally friendly since only the cartridge needs to be changed, leaving the housing intact.
Centrifugal oil filters
These oil filters use the centrifugal force of the oil pump to remove contaminants from the oil. As the oil pump spins, contaminants are thrown against the filter wall and trapped. Clean oil then flows through the center of the filter and back into the engine.
Magnetic oil filter P7380
These oil filters use magnets to remove metal particles from the engine oil, preventing them from causing damage to engine components. They are available as either spin-on or cartridge types, making them versatile for different vehicles.
Filter media
The oil filter P7380 uses 100% high-efficiency filter media that meets the OEM standard. They are made of cellulose combined with synthetic fibers. The cellulose has a high dirt-holding capacity, while the synthetic fibers improve the strength and filtering efficiency.
Shell
The shell is the oil filter's outside covering. It protects the media inside from damage and corrosion. The P7380 oil filter shell is made of steel. Steel is a strong metal that can withstand impact and is also resistant to rust. The shell is 0.5 mm thick. This ensures it can handle any pressure from the oil flow without crushing.
End plate
The end plates are located at the top and bottom of the oil filter. They cover the filter media and help hold the structure together. The P7380 uses end plates made of steel that are 0.4 mm thick. The steel end plates prevent damage to the media inside the filter. They also provide a sturdy structure that can withstand the pressure of the oil.
Anti-drain back valve
The anti-drain back valve stops the engine oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off. This ensures the oil filter is full when the engine is running so that the oil flows easily. The P7380 uses a silicone anti-drain back valve. Silicone is a durable material for the ADBV. It does not get hard or crack, even after years of use.
Sealing and bypass valve
The oil filter has a rubber gasket or seal at the base. This seal prevents engine oil from leaking out of the sides of the filter. The P7380 has a thick, high-quality rubber gasket to provide a tight seal against the engine block. Additionally, the oil filter has a bypass valve. If the filter gets clogged, the bypass valve will open and allow oil to flow through. This prevents the oil flow from stopping.

It is important to maintain the oil filter P7380 properly to ensure it has a long lifespan and maximum efficiency. Here are some tips on how to maintain the oil filter:
Follow recommended oil change intervals
Many people make the mistake of prolonging oil change intervals. This leads to oil filter clogging. The best way to ensure the filter is not overworked is to follow the recommended oil change intervals.
Use high-quality engine oil
Using low-quality engine oil can cause a lot of damage to the oil filter. The particles found in low-quality engine oils can clog the filter pretty fast. This reduces its efficiency and puts it under stress. Always go for engine oil from reputable brands.
Avoid short trips
If the car is used for short trips, the oil filter will be overworked. This is because the engine oil takes a short period to reach the ideal temperature during short trips. The filter will have to work extra to ensure the oil flows smoothly. If the car is used for short trips, ensure to check the filter regularly.
Understand Vehicle Requirements
Knowing the car make, model, and year is essential. This information helps to see the recommended oil filter specifications for the vehicle. Different cars need oil filters that meet their engine requirements. Also, understanding the vehicle requirements helps avoid selecting an incompatible oil filter.
Cross-reference Specifications
Use the oil filter number and check the compatibility charts. This is important since it verifies the fitment across different vehicles. Also, it ensures the oil filter selected matches the engine specifications.
Quality
Quality is an important factor when selecting Oil Filter P7380. Choose well-known brands. They may be a bit costly compared to other brands. However, they are durable and offer quality service. One can also get quality oil filters from lesser-known brands. Just ensure the oil filters have quality standards.
Price
When choosing oil filter P7380, consider the price. Do not go for filters with prices that are beyond the budget. Avoid filters with very low prices. They may not offer quality service. Also, they may not be durable.
Ease of Installation
When choosing oil filter P7380, consider the ease of installation. Choose filters that are easy to install. This helps to avoid the extra cost of hiring a mechanic to install the oil filter. Also, the easy-to-install oil filters come with installation instructions.

Changing the oil filter is a crucial part of car maintenance that ensures the vehicle runs smoothly. The good news is that this is one of the car maintenance practices that can be done at home. Replacing the oil filter requires a basic understanding of car parts and tools. Here are the steps to take when replacing the oil filter:
Gather the necessary tools:
Before starting, make sure you have the right tools for the job. One might need an oil filter wrench, an adjustable wrench, a ratchet and socket, a funnel, a drain pan, and new oil. Having the right tools makes the work easier and saves time.
Prepare the vehicle:
Start the car and let it run for a few minutes. This helps to heat the oil, making it thinner and easier to drain. After that, park the car on a flat surface and turn off the engine. Let it cool for a while. This is important because oil can reach very high temperatures, and handling parts can cause burns. Once the vehicle is elevated and stable, open the hood and remove the oil filler cap.
Drain the old oil:
Place the drain pan under the oil pan and use the wrench to loosen the oil drain plug. Let the oil drain completely before closing the plug.
Remove the old oil filter:
Use the oil filter wrench to loosen and remove the oil filter. Be careful not to spill oil on the surrounding parts. After removing the oil filter, make sure no debris or dirt is left on the mounting surface.
Install the new oil filter:
Apply a small amount of fresh oil to the rubber gasket on the new oil filter. This ensures a good seal and prevents the gasket from tearing. Screw the new oil filter onto the mounting surface. Tighten it by hand until snug, then use the wrench to tighten it an additional quarter turn. Don't over-tighten, as this can damage the filter.
Refill with new oil:
Use a funnel to pour new oil into the oil filler neck. The user should refer to the owner's manual for the correct oil type and capacity. After filling, run the engine for a minute or two and check for leaks around the oil filter and drain plug.
