{"product_id":"sct-oil-filter-sm168","title":"SCT Oil Filter SM168","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe SM168 oil filter removes metal particles, soot and combustion residues from the engine oil, helping protect bearings, camshafts and other moving parts from wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a spin-on filter. Quality filter media balances fine filtration with good oil flow, including on cold starts, while durable seals help prevent leaks. Where fitted to the design, an anti-drain-back valve keeps oil in the filter when the engine is off, so oil pressure builds quickly on start-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: SM168\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment and replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm fitment by matching the part number above against your old filter, your vehicle's service book or a parts catalogue for your exact make, model, engine and year. If you are unsure, send us your registration or VIN and we will check it for you. Replace the oil filter at every oil change. Lightly oil the new seal before fitting and tighten by hand according to the instructions on the filter. Run the engine, check for leaks and top up the oil level as needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlways follow the vehicle manufacturer's service schedule and fitting instructions, and have the work carried out by a qualified technician if you are not confident doing it yourself. Buying the correct part the first time saves on labour, avoids repeat jobs and gets the vehicle back to work sooner. If you are unsure about fitment, send us your vehicle registration, make, model and year before ordering and we will help you confirm the right part. Every part is checked against its part number before dispatch, so what arrives matches what you ordered. Keeping a spare on the shelf is a sensible move for workshops, fleet operators and home mechanics who would rather not wait on parts. Always fill the engine with the grade and quantity of oil recommended by the vehicle manufacturer after fitting a new filter. Quality replacement parts like this help keep running costs predictable and reduce the chance of an unexpected roadside breakdown. Workshops can order with confidence for customer vehicles, and private owners can tackle routine maintenance knowing the part is made to suit the job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACE Auto Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57617670176840,"sku":"SM168","price":18.36,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/9037\/4728\/files\/SM168.jpg?v=1793779674","url":"https:\/\/autocentreparts.co.nz\/products\/sct-oil-filter-sm168","provider":"Auto Centre Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
