Overview
Isuzu D-Max oil filter supports stable lubrication in diesel engine operation.
For this reason, Isuzu specifies controlled filtration standards for this component.
The filter manages continuous oil flow while retaining contaminants generated during combustion.
As a result, critical engine components receive cleaner and more consistent lubrication.
Vehicle Compatibility and Applications
Isuzu applies this oil filter across multiple D-Max diesel configurations.
Typical vehicles include Isuzu D-Max models produced from approximately 2012 onward.
Moreover, these vehicles commonly use turbocharged diesel engines.
The most common application appears on 3.0L diesel powertrains.
In addition, the lubrication system shares architecture with other Isuzu light-duty pickup platforms.
Material and Structural Design
The filter housing uses corrosion-resistant steel material.
Therefore, the exterior maintains strength under oil pressure and thermal cycling.
A precision-threaded metal base ensures secure installation.
At the same time, the sealing surface supports stable contact with the engine block.
This structure allows consistent fitment during repeated service intervals.
Filtration Stability and Engine Protection
Diesel engines generate higher particulate contamination levels.
For this reason, the filter supports controlled filtration under extended duty cycles.
As a result, oil pressure remains stable during cold starts and sustained operation.
Moreover, effective filtration helps protect crankshaft bearings and valve train components.
This balance supports predictable engine durability in commercial and mixed-use driving.
OE Reference Integration
Isuzu assigns OE number 8-98035693-0 to this oil filter.
This reference appears across multiple Isuzu diesel pickup applications.
The OE reference confirms compatibility within approved D-Max lubrication systems.
However, technicians should always verify engine configuration before installation.
Maintenance and Replacement Guidance
Diesel engine oil degrades with mileage and load conditions.
Therefore, technicians replace the oil filter during every scheduled oil change.
Isuzu service schedules commonly recommend replacement at 10,000 to 15,000 kilometer intervals.
As a result, regular replacement supports long-term engine reliability.
Service intervals should follow official Isuzu maintenance documentation.
Installation and Fitment Notes
This oil filter installs directly onto factory mounting threads.
Moreover, original sealing surfaces remain unchanged during installation.
No modification to surrounding components is required.
Consequently, installation remains straightforward for professional technicians.
