A water sediment filter assembly includes a screen member and a drain port which permits the removal of collected debris. The water sediment filter assembly includes a valve member which can be moved to different positions to permit the draining of collected sediment through the drain port.

A system includes an oil catch compartment, at least one magnetic stud or rod, a motor compartment, and a switch. The oil catch compartment includes a first end configured for coupling to an oil filter. The at least one magnetic stud or rod is positioned along a sidewall of the oil catch compartment. The motor compartment includes a gearbox shaft and a puncturing device. The gearbox shaft is telescopically coupled to a second end of the oil catch compartment. The puncturing device is coupled to the gearbox shaft and positioned at least partially within the housing of the motor compartment or the oil catch compartment. The switch is formed on an outside surface of a battery compartment and communicatively connected to a motor coupled to the gearbox shaft. The switch is actuatable to cause the motor to advance the puncturing device via the gearbox shaft.

A filter system for liquid media has a filter housing with housing pot and housing cover. The housing pot has a drainage channel with bottom-side drainage opening. A bottom end disk of a filter element has a closure element arranged off-center to a longitudinal filter element axis. The closure element, in predetermined installation position of the filter element, extends seal-tightly across or into the drainage opening. The bottom end disk has a cutout corresponding with a positioning aid of the housing pot. By screwing on the housing cover, the filter element moves with the housing cover axially toward the drainage opening and rotates until positioning aid and cutout engage and lock the filter element relative to the housing pot in a predetermined rotational position where the closure element is axially aligned with the drainage opening. The filter element moves with the housing cover axially into the predetermined installation position.

A filter element for liquid filtration has a hollow-cylindrical filter medium body and an end disk covering an end face of the filter medium body. A central cutout axially penetrates the end disk. An outflow channel for liquid to be filtered or filtered liquid is arranged at the end disk and connects to a liquid collecting space. The outflow channel extends from a radially outward wall surface of the filter medium body to the central cutout of the end disk. The outflow channel is controlled by a drainage device. A filter device with a filter housing provided with such a filter element has a drainage device that controls the outflow channel. A filter device with a drainage device having a first drainage position for draining only water and a second drainage position draining water from a water collecting space and liquid from a liquid collecting space is provided.

An oil filter for a motor vehicle includes a filter cartridge disposed in an oil filter housing. A piston of the filter cartridge is displaceable in the oil filter housing in an axial direction of the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge has a closure element where the closure element is held at an end of at least one strut of the filter cartridge and where a free end of the at least one strut is supported in the oil filter housing. The piston is displaceable relative to the at least one strut in the axial direction of the filter cartridge.

A filter device comprises a filter housing having a filter housing cup and a filter housing cover. An insert insertable into the filter housing comprises an eccentrically arranged and axially projecting first positioning element configured to engage a positioning contour on a side of the filter housing cup. A guide ramp is provided on the filter housing cup and interacts with a guide device arranged on the insert. The guide ramp is formed of at least one ring segment and extends continuously over at most 270°, and the guide device has a second positioning element. At least one web is arranged on the insert and forms the second positioning element, and the at least one web comprises at least two webs with different axial longitudinal extents arranged one of on the lower end plate of the insert and directly on the insert.

A basket strainer insert having a body with one or more magnets disposed therein. The basket strainer insert includes a baffle to disrupt the flow of liquid through the basket strainer and facilitates the attraction of metallic particles to the body. The baffle has a plurality of lobes secured to the body with connection portions and separated from each other by gaps. The lobes may have an inward bend, an outward bend, or may be planar.
