    Please note! Failure to comply with environmental, health, and safety requirements when handling production and consumption waste can lead to a fine or other penalty, up to and including criminal prosecution.
  • Industrial disposal regulations
    A used oil filter can be returned to the seller (free of charge), or handed over to a garage or to a specialised service. Disposing of the part with household waste is strictly prohibited!
