JL 272-180-00-38-64 Oil Filter Housing Cap for Mercedes-Benz M272 Engine

The JL 272-180-00-38-64 Oil Filter Housing Cap is an aftermarket replacement cap designed for Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the M272 engine family. This cap serves a dual purpose — it seals the oil filter housing and also acts as the mounting point for the oil filter itself, making it a critical component in your engine's lubrication system.

Key Features:

• Direct-fit replacement for OEM part number 272-180-00-38 and 272-180-00-38-64
• Constructed from heat-resistant plastic engineered to withstand repeated thermal cycles
• Seals the oil filter housing to prevent oil leaks
• Functions as the mounting point for the engine oil filter
• Manufactured by JL (also known as JL / AIC Automotive)

Why Replace It? Because this cap is made of plastic, it is subject to becoming brittle or cracking over time due to constant exposure to engine heat and oil — especially since it must be removed and reinstalled at every oil change. If you notice oil leaks around the oil filter housing area, a worn or cracked cap is a common cause.
