Abstract: Proposed herein is a superfine oil cleaning filter, comprising a casing joined together with a cover, an antidrain valve, a filter element, a relief valve with a coarse-cleaning filter element, and a spring, the coarse-cleaning filter element being positioned upstream of the filter element and the relief valve in the space confined within the internal surface of the casing and the external surface of the filter element and of the filter cover. Depending on operating conditions the coarse-cleaning filter element either may be provided with a safety valve or be made up of two components one of which is positioned upstream of the filter element, and the other is located upstream of the relief valve.
