The present invention relates to an oil filter (1) for internal combustion engines, which is preferably used in a secondary oil circuit in addition to a conventional oil filter. The oil filter comprises a filter housing (2a, 2b, 30, 3u) in which a filter element (5) that consists of a roll of absorbant paper that is wound about a rod (4) is installed. In order to simplify production and inventory management, the present invention proposes that the oil filter be configured as a set of elements that comprises the body sections (2a, 2b) and caps (30, 3u) and a rod (4) with the rolled filter element (5). The volume of the oil filter can be matched to a particular application by connecting a plurality of body sections (2a, 2b) with an appropriate number of rods (4).
