Abstract: The invention concerns a filter insert (1) that is provided as an exchangeable insert in a filter, in particular an oil filter, fuel filter or the like of an internal combustion engine. The filter comprises a filter housing (3) that can be separated along a separating plane (2) and the exchangeable filter insert (1) extending in an axial direction (18). Two housing parts (4, 5) of the filter housing (3) are sealed relative to one another along the separating plane (2) by means of a seal (6). The seal (6) is secured slidably and captively in the axial direction (18) on the filter insert (1).

Abstract: A filtering device for filtering liquids in internal combustion engines has a filter housing and a filter element inserted into the filter housing. A cover disk closes off the filter housing. The cover disk consists of two individual disks and a central flow connection connects the two individual disks. The two individual disks and the flow connection form a common plastic component.

Abstract: A replaceable liquid filter, particularly for the lubricating oil of an internal combustion engine, having a substantially cup-shaped housing with a concentrically disposed outlet opening for the filtered liquid and at least one inlet opening for the liquid to be filtered and a filter element sealingly disposed between the inlet opening and the outlet opening. The housing is connected to a top plate, and the top plate is connected to an end plate. A connector for releasably coupling the replaceable liquid filter to a mating part is disposed concentrically in the region of the cover plate, such that the connector extends axially beyond the contour of the replaceable liquid filter.
