Use cases & applications
High Contaminant Environments
In dusty or dirty operating conditions, this element traps abrasive particles before they circulate through the system. Routine replacement helps prevent premature component wear and unplanned downtime.
Continuous Duty Applications
For machinery running round the clock, the filter’s 10 bar collapse pressure and 1.75 bar bypass valve maintain oil quality under sustained load, reducing the risk of unfiltered oil bypassing the element.
Planned Maintenance Cycles
Keep a stock of these elements to streamline scheduled services. Quick swap outs minimise equipment idle time, and the consistent dimensions ensure a drop in fit across multiple housing brands.
Fleet and Inventory Consolidation
Managing a mixed fleet becomes simpler when one aftermarket element covers several OEM part numbers. Lower per unit cost and assured compatibility help control spares expenses without sacrificing performance.
Frequently asked questions
How can I be sure this filter fits my machine?
This element directly replaces cartridges from Fai Filtri, Filtrec, HiFi Filter, Oxfil, Sofima and UFI. Before ordering, check your existing filter’s total height (200 mm) and outer diameter (130 mm) match these dimensions. The thread type and sealing face must also correspond to your housing.
What is the filtration rating and media type?
The media is made from inorganic microfibres and provides a nominal filtration rating of 7 µm. This construction gives high dirt holding capacity while maintaining oil flow, effectively capturing fine particulates that cause component wear.
Does this element have standard dimensions and thread?
The cartridge has a total height of 200 mm and an outer diameter of 130 mm. Thread configuration and gasket size are designed to match the original equipment specifications. Always verify your housing’s mounting post and seal before fitting.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
No, it is an aftermarket element manufactured to align with OEM performance. It offers a dependable alternative at a fraction of the cost, with the same fit and function as the branded versions it replaces.
How do I install this oil filter element?
Relieve system pressure, remove the old cartridge, and clean the housing. Apply a thin film of oil to the new seal, insert the element, and reassemble. Run the equipment briefly and check for leaks before returning to full operation.
