Abstract

An oil filter assembly (10) comprises a housing (12) that has a holding space for a filter element (20), which can be placed inside the housing and through which oil can radially flow, an oil inlet, an oil outlet, and a supporting tube (22), which supports the filter element. A guide (62) for a compensating body of the outlet valve is provided on a part that is separate from the housing (12). The compensating body (58) serves to compensate for axial tolerances of the housing and/or of the filter element.
