Headers and exhaust manifolds on early Ford engines can run within inches of the oil filter, heat-soaking the canister and raising oil temperatures well beyond what the filter and fluid were rated to handle. Heatshield Products' Stealth Oil Filter Heat Shield blocks that radiant heat before it reaches the filter, keeping oil viscosity stable and extending both fluid and filter life.
Patented MagnaMount system holds everything in place without tools. Built-in high-temperature magnets secure the shield snugly over the oil filter canister. The same magnets capture fine ferrous particles circulating in the oil, adding a secondary filtration benefit that protects engine internals over time. Removal for oil changes takes seconds.
Thermal performance rated for serious heat. The volcanic rock fiber-based thermal barrier withstands continuous temperatures up to 1,200°F and handles intermittent spikes up to 2,000°F. It also resists oil, solvents, and water, so the shield holds up across every condition an engine bay can produce.
Road debris protection comes standard. Beyond thermal insulation, the shield wraps the filter canister in a layer of durable material that deflects rocks, gravel, and other debris that could puncture or damage the filter body and cause catastrophic oil loss.
Sized for early Ford applications. This Stealth variant measures 3.80 inches inner diameter by 4.80 inches tall, fitting standard spin-on style oil filters common to early Ford platforms. The black Stealth finish keeps the engine bay appearance clean without adding bulk.
