Oil Filter for TVS Apache RTR 160: OEM Replacement
This oil filter is built for the TVS Apache RTR 160 and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the oem replacement programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: premature wear on the first batch, or lead time that slipped twice before bulk started. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

What decides whether it lasts
- Material — EPDM Rubber is the base; treat any substitution as a new approval.
- Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
- Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual TVS Apache RTR 160 mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — anodising holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
- Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.
Where it is used
The oem replacement build is the one most often ordered for delivery fleets. Riders also fit it for mining sites, long-distance touring, heavy load hauling, urban courier work.
Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
- Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
- Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
- Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.
Questions buyers ask
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the SGS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 200 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
