ALT DECOUPLER PULLEY

This Litens supplied OAP is manufactured by the original equipment (O.E.) manufacturer. This replacement pulley is exact in all form, fit, and performance characteristics as the original equipment part (with the exception of not having the car manufacturer’s logo or part number applied to the part). Under rapid engine deceleration, the pulley disengages the alternator from the belt drive system, allowing the alternator to freewheel, re-engaging when the RPM increases. The OAP alternator pulley ensures smooth, quiet performance. The OAP is designed as a sacrificial part of the front-end accessory drive system, protecting other belt driven component. Under normal driving conditions, the original pulley will require replacement in approximately 70,000 – 90,000 miles. Litens is the world’s largest supplier of original equipment (O.E.) power transmission products. At Litens, we design systems that are more efficient, resulting in tangible fuel economy/emissions benefits. Litens holds over 2000 patents and continues to respond to the ever-changing automotive industry by investing heavily in new technology, facilities, and people. 90% of our line is made of products coming from the OE manufacturer, which makes the Litens Tensioning Products portfolio the purest OE tensioning line in the North American aftermarket.

Product Features:

• Original Equipment Design
• Protects the front-end accessory drive components
• New seal cap included with the OAP (Always ensure the cap is installed after installation)
• Tools Required – 17mm Spline Bit Driver (included)
• Installation instructions included

More and more performance, less and less consumption – in order to meet the high demands placed on modern engines, automobile manufacturers demand the absolute highest levels of performance from the engine components used. The oil circuit is of central importance here, as only clean engine oil can permanently ensure consistent engine performance. If the circulating oil is not permanently freed of impurities and combustion residues, protection from wear is no longer guaranteed. In the worst case, this may even damage the engine. If you want to play it safe when choosing an oil filter, choose MANN-FILTER. They are designed for modern high-performance oils and can stand up to even the most demanding technical challenges. As the application areas of oil filters and the demands placed on them vary, MANN-FILTER oil filters are available in different designs.

Product Features:

• Outstanding dirt holding capacity
• Prolongs service intervals and continues to meet the technical requirements of high-performance engines
• Offers even faster and optimized oil supply when starting the engine
