HEAVY DUTY OIL FILTERS
Oil is the life-blood of an engine, which means the oil filter should never be taken
for granted, especially in harsh heavy-duty environments. The small price
maintenance teams must pay for premium filters is well worth the cost when you
consider the components that make up an oil filter.
Premium oil filters provide many benefits over their cheaper
counterparts, including:
- Thicker base plates (standard .155 inch thickness) for
consistent thread strength, easier thread engagement, positive inner-element
support, and consistent gasket compression.
- Sturdy element supports designed to resist all fluid types,
vibration, and high and low temperatures, which will not deform under constant
spring-load pressure.
- Heavy duty center tubes and cans which can withstand exposure to
a wide range in flow and pressure.
- High tech media and other technological improvements that can
give premium filters the edge over OE designs.
