Purflux Oil Filters

Purflux Oil Filters: OE Expertise Brought to the Aftermarket

When it comes to keeping engine oil clean and engines running at their best, few names carry the weight of real original equipment credibility that Purflux does. Established in 1956, the Purflux name is synonymous with original performance for the Independent Aftermarket. Over decades of R&D, the brand has built a reputation not just as an aftermarket supplier, but as a genuine OE partner to some of the world's most demanding automakers.

What Sets Purflux Oil Filters Apart

The defining characteristic of Purflux oil filters is their proprietary filtration media technology. Purflux oil filters use patented Chevron Pleating — a design that increases the filtration surface area, improving dirt and particle capture without restricting oil flow. This distinctive zigzag or "chevron" pleat pattern is a hallmark of the brand and a key reason enthusiasts and technicians recognize Purflux filters on sight. Thanks to this exclusive chevron media pleating technology, Purflux filters offer outstanding dust-holding capacity in a reduced footprint.

The oil filter provides continuous purification of the oil, retaining abrasive particles caused by normal wear and tear, as well as dust and combustion residues. Purflux engineers this process with precision. Their oil filters are resistant to heat and pressure, handling high engine temperatures and prolonged use without degrading, and feature a strong anti-drainback valve that prevents dry starts by keeping oil in the filter when the engine is off.

Trusted by the World's Top Automakers

Purflux Group is the original equipment supplier of the oil filter module mounted on the Ferrari 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. That level of engineering trust doesn't happen by accident. Brands and engines such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar, and Porsche confirm that Purflux Group's commitment to research and development of advanced filter technologies makes them a first choice for high-performance filtration. Beyond the exotic car world, Purflux serves as OE supplier for mainstream European platforms as well — Purflux Group is the original supplier of the second-generation Peugeot 508 family with diesel and oil filters. Purflux also manufactures the genuine Honda oil filters, sharing identical internal components.

Spin-On and Cartridge Formats

Oil filters can be designed as a spin-on filter or as a filter cartridge in a housing. A spin-on filter is replaced completely after its useful life, whereas in the cartridge version only the cartridge itself needs to be replaced. Purflux offers both formats, covering a wide range of passenger car applications across European, Asian, and American nameplates. By using the latest OE technologies, Purflux offers its aftermarket clients the highest-performance filters — and thanks to constant value analysis, is able to produce increasingly compact and lightweight filters, reducing the amount of recycling and helping to protect the environment.

OE Quality, Aftermarket Availability

Purflux Group has received several industry awards, including "Supplier of the Year" and "Preferred Supplier," from leading car manufacturers in recognition of the superior quality of its products — and all Purflux products for the OEM spare parts and Independent Aftermarket are manufactured to OE standards. For drivers who want the confidence of factory-spec filtration without purchasing dealer-branded parts, Purflux oil filters represent a direct path to OE-equivalent protection.
