In brief
The filter and oil cooler solve separate tasks.
Useful to know
The oil filter retains dirt in the oil stream. HELLA describes various performances for specific engines and operating conditions. It is not the same component as the oil heat exchanger. [1]
Selection is not made only by thread or external height. Internal implementation and application are also part of the compatibility. For service orders, use the correct engine and filter housing data. Changing a filter does not replace choosing the correct oil and does not confirm by itself that the entire lubricating system has been checked.
