Abstract:
A filter cartridge includes a filter element (forming a fluid channel with a first longitudinal axis) with a front side to which a front end cap is sealingly attached, a conduit (with rear and front ends) attached to the front end cap, and a through hole (in the front end cap) that provides a fluid communication between the channel and the conduit, to enable oil flow from the channel via the rear end of the conduit through the conduit to its front end. Pressure drop for a given oil flow rate is reduced if the conduit has a straight end section (defining a second longitudinal axis) in the vicinity of its front end. The second longitudinal axis intersects the first longitudinal axis at a single point to define a non-zero angle α between the axes.

Claim (Index 1):
A filter cartridge comprising at least:\n a filter element having a front side and a rear side and forming a fluid channel with a first longitudinal axis, a front end cap sealingly attached to the front side, a straight conduit with a rear end and a front end, wherein the straight conduit is attached to the front end cap, a through hole, in the front end cap, configured to establish fluid communication between the fluid channel and the conduit to enable an oil flow from the fluid channel via the rear end of the conduit through the conduit to the front end, wherein the conduit has a straight end section in the vicinity of the front end, said end section defining a second longitudinal axis, wherein a parallel projection of the second longitudinal axis onto a plane, which is parallel to the second longitudinal axis and which contains the first longitudinal axis, intersects the first longitudinal axis at a single point and to define an angle \u03b1, with \u03b1>0\u00b0.
