Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6415 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 7, Injection
equipment and filters for use on road vehicles.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 6415:1990), which has been technically
revised.

Internal combustion engines — Spin-on filters for lubricating
oil — Dimensions
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the essential dimensions necessary for interchangeability of spin-on
filters of the full-flow type for the filtration of lubricating oil for internal combustion engines. It also gives the
designation and marking of these filters.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

ISO 261, ISO general purpose metric screw threads — General plan
ISO 965-1, ISO general-purpose metric screw threads — Tolerances — Part 1: Principles and basic data
ISO 965-3, ISO general purpose metric screw threads — Tolerances — Part 3: Deviations for constructional
screw threads
3 Requirements
3.1 Connection thread and sealing surface
The dimensions of the male and female connection threads and of the sealing surface are specified in
Figure 1 and Table 1. The thread shall conform to ISO 68, ISO 261, ISO 965-1 and ISO 965-3.
The sealing surface shall be continuous and free from porosity and nicks.
NOTE The use of filters with unified threads is discouraged to avoid the danger of mismatching.
