Hengst Automotive Filters





Founded in the late 1950s, Hengst is a German company that specializes in developing and manufacturing a wide range of industrial and automotive filters. Today, this company boasts numerous achievements and awards in this area and has large production and storing facilities in several countries including the United States. When it comes to motor vehicles, proper filtration is absolutely necessary to ensure a smooth and lasting operation of any engine. Huge experience and cutting-edge technology allow Hengst to create some of the finest filters for air, oil, and fuel.

Although there is a great variety of filters on the market today, and many of them look very similar to each other, it still makes sense to pick those coming from reliable manufacturers. If you cut open a Hengst oil filter, you will be able to evaluate its quality visually. Like the filters by other reputable brands, it has two valves – the anti-drain back and bypass one, and both of them are of high quality. The former ensures that some oil remains in the filter to provide effective lubrication at the very first moments of engine operation, and the latter lets motor oil circulate if the filter is seriously clogged.

Meanwhile, a rather thick and tight filter media provides good filtering ability and also has no visible drawbacks. As for Hengst fuel filters, they provide perfect filtration while ensuring minimum resistance to the flow of fuel, which is crucial for engine performance and lifespan of the fuel pump. Besides leak-proof construction, Hengst air filters feature flame-retardant filter media that stops the tiniest pollutants. All Hengst filters undergo various tests at the factory to eliminate the possibility of errors at all development and production stages. In modern vehicles, service intervals get longer, and filters have to be capable enough in order to protect the motor without affecting its efficiency and lifespan. Hengst automotive filters are up to this task, and you can choose them in our online store.

Great Filter but Kinda Gimmicky
I would definitely buy it again, because it's better then the factory filter, but the marketing seems kinda gimmicky.

OEM Jaguar 5.0L (AJ-34S) Oil Filter
It will be impossible to rate this filter correctly until my next oil change to see what it looks like when they pull it out for replacement. I can only assume at this point that it is working fine and doing what it was designed to do. The mechanic who installed it did not say anything about it not going in properly, so, the installation wasn't a problem at least.
