Shop DAF truck oil filters at Truckstop Group
An oil filter removes metal particles, carbon and other contaminants from engine oil before it recirculates through the bearings, camshaft and other moving components. On DAF's PACCAR MX engines, oil filters are typically cartridge-type rather than spin-on, which means the housing seal and torque specification matter as much as the filter element itself.
Using the wrong element size in a cartridge housing, or over-tightening the housing cap, is a common cause of oil leaks after a service. Always check the seal condition and torque figure specified for the housing, not just the filter part number, when carrying out a replacement.
Oil filter replacement is tied to DAF's standard service intervals, and should always be carried out alongside an oil change rather than on its own. Extending the interval beyond the manufacturer's schedule reduces the filter's ability to trap contaminants effectively.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are DAF oil filters spin-on or cartridge type?
Most current PACCAR MX engines in the CF and XF ranges use cartridge-type oil filters rather than spin-on units. Always confirm the filter type for your specific engine before ordering, since fitting the wrong type is not possible without also changing the housing.
What happens if the DAF oil filter housing seal fails?
A failed or incorrectly seated seal on a cartridge housing will cause an oil leak, usually visible around the filter housing shortly after a service. Always replace the seal along with the filter element and torque the housing to the specified figure.
How often should a DAF oil filter be changed?
Oil filters should be replaced at every oil change, in line with DAF's standard service schedule. Extending the interval reduces the filter's ability to trap contaminants and can accelerate engine wear.
