The invention concerns a filter insert () 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 () that can be separated along a separating plane () and the exchangeable filter insert () extending in an axial direction (). Two housing parts () of the filter housing () are sealed relative to one another along the separating plane () by means of a seal (). The seal () is secured slidably and captively in the axial direction () on the filter insert ().

Exchangeable filter insert

An assembly for an internal combustion engine comprising an oil filter in a first housing structure and, for instance, an oil separator in a second housing structure The two housing structures can be combined to form a modular assembly. The assembly includes duct structures which are combined to form a common line segment to reduce the material and manufacturing costs for the assembly. The different duct structures may include, for example, an oil drain for the oil filter, which simplifies service (changing the filter element). The duct structure of the second housing structure can serve, for example, to transport crankcase gases to an oil separator in the second housing structure or to return separated oil from the oil separator to an engine crankcase. The oil drain of the oil filter housing may be combined with the drain the oil from the oil pan of the internal combustion engine, and the two drains may optionally be closed by a single drain plug.
