Built for tough tracks: Penrite rolls out a new oil filter range

Owning a 4WD isn’t just about where you go, it’s about how you protect what gets you there. 

We all know that oil keeps your engine lubricated, but the unsung hero in every service bay is the oil filter, your first line of defence against wear, sludge and the inevitable dust and grit that comes with real-world Australian conditions. That’s why the new Penrite oil filter range is a game changer for 4×4 owners who demand build quality and performance without compromise.

Penrite has taken its almost 100-year legacy as Australia’s home-grown lubricant maker and applied that expertise to oil filtration with products engineered for real roads, outback tracks and everything in between. These aren’t generic filters re-badged and boxed, they’re purpose built with premium media that delivers 98 per cent plus filtration efficiency at 20 microns, so your engine oil stays cleaner for longer and your engine lives longer.

For the 4×4 crowd, convenience and durability matter just as much as protection. Penrite spin-on filters come with an integrated 19mm nut for easy removal, making that next oil and filter change quicker and easier, especially when you’re under the bonnet at home or out on the farm. 

The robust steel canister with high burst pressure design stands up to heat and vibration, giving you peace of mind that the filter won’t fail when the going gets tough. A silicone anti-drain back valve retains oil in the filter at shutdown, helping prevent wear on cold starts, something every 4WD owner should care about, particularly after long idle times on jobs or camp mornings.

Cartridge-style filters aren’t left behind, either. Built to tight tolerances for modern housings, these deliver OEM-spec fitment and performance while still backing the same premium filtration media and sealing technology.

Matched products ensure optimal oil quality is maintained through your service interval, enhancing performance and engine life whether you’re towing, navigating boggy creek crossings or cruising the highway. This integrated approach is exactly what 4×4 enthusiasts look for when choosing parts that deliver consistent, reliable results.

Availability is practical, too. The Penrite oil filter range is now stocked nationally through Supercheap Auto, making it easy to pick the right filter for your 4WD, either in store or online. If you’re unsure about compatibility, Penrite’s online REGO search tool helps you find the correct part number in seconds – no guessing, no wasted trips.

The bottom line for 4×4 owners is simple. You don’t want to cut corners on something as critical as oil filtration. Penrite’s new oil filters give you premium performance and reliability, engineered for tough conditions, paired with convenience that fits your service routine.

It’s protection that’s worth fitting yourself.
