- Tough Guard®
- Spin On
- Provides superior engine protection
- Uses a 9% higher level of synthetic media to provide 6 times more engine protection
- 99% dirt trapping efficiency
- Silicone anti-drainback valve holds a reserve of oil in the filter to help protect the engine during start ups
Technology:
- Ordinary filters use only cellulose media, but tough guard adds microscopic synthetic fibers, creating small windows that trap the microscopic dirt particles without affecting the flow of oil
- Blending synthetic fibers with cellulose increases a filter's dirt-trapping efficiency and its dirt-holding capacity for higher levels of engine protection and longer filter life
- Tough guard is the perfect filter for drivers who push their vehicles in stop and go traffic, towing and extreme weather conditions
Installation Instructions:
- Use proper protective gear. Used motor oil should not come in contact with bare skin. Engine oil may be hot
- Place a drain pan under the oil filter and unscrew oil filter

- Check owner's manual for correct oil specification, viscosity and amount
