A cartridge-type oil filter sub-assembly that has been made compact, lighter and has reduced pressure loss by using a high-efficiency filter is used.

An oil filter with a replaceable element is used. The element uses high-performance filter paper to improve filtration performance. It is also combustible for environmental protection.
A plastic filter cap is used for weight reduction.
This oil filter has a structure which can drain the engine oil remaining in the oil filter. This prevents engine oil from spattering when replacing the element and allows the technician to work without touching hot engine oil.
