For machinery running long shifts, this filter's robust construction handles sustained flow demands. Regular replacement with this filter ensures consistent filtration efficiency, preventing contaminant buildup that leads to costly repairs.
Mixed Fleet Maintenance
If your fleet uses filters from multiple brands such as Donaldson, Fleetguard, or WIX, this aftermarket filter simplifies inventory by cross-referencing many part numbers. One part covers multiple machines, streamlining stock management.
Remote or Off-Grid Operations
When operating in remote locations where brand-specific filters are hard to source, this filter's wide cross-reference ensures availability. Its reliable filtration keeps hydraulic systems running smoothly until scheduled maintenance.
Frequently asked questions

What is the filtration rating and media type?
The filter uses impregnated paper media with a 25 µm filtration rating. This rating is suitable for standard hydraulic systems, capturing fine particles while allowing adequate flow.
What are the thread and sealing dimensions?
The largest inner diameter is 60 mm, and the largest outer diameter is 99 mm. Total height is 281 mm. For thread specifics, please measure your existing filter's thread size or consult your equipment manual.
Is this filter genuine or OEM?
This is an aftermarket replacement, not genuine or OEM. It is built to the original dimensions and ratings and cross-references brands like Alco, Baldwin, Donaldson, and others. It offers a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing quality.
How do I install this filter?
Ensure the system is depressurised. Remove the old filter, clean the mounting surface, lubricate the gasket with clean oil, and hand-tighten the new filter until the gasket contacts the base, then tighten an additional three-quarters turn. Check for leaks after startup.
