An oil filter is primarily made of a metal canister, which provides structural integrity, and a filter media, often composed of paper, synthetic fibers, or a combination of both, designed to capture contaminants from the oil. The end caps and seals are typically made from rubber or a similar material to ensure a tight fit and prevent leaks. Some oil filters also include a spring mechanism to maintain pressure against the filter media. Overall, the materials are selected for durability and effectiveness in filtering oil under various conditions.
