Use cases & applications
Dusty Worksite Protection
In construction or agricultural settings with high airborne dust, the 25-micron impregnated paper media traps fine particles that can cause abrasive wear. This extends engine and hydraulic component life, reducing downtime and repair costs.
Continuous-Duty Reliability
For standby generators or compressors that operate non-stop, the bypass valve sustains oil flow if the element becomes loaded. This prevents oil starvation and guards against pressure spikes, keeping critical equipment online.
Fleet Inventory Consolidation
Fleet managers running mixed-brand machinery can stock one this filter to replace filters from Airfil, MP Filtri, Purolator, and others. Simplifying inventory cuts procurement effort and saves shelf space.
Mobile Hydraulic System Safeguard
In mobile hydraulic applications subject to pressure surges, the robust filter construction and consistent bypass operation maintain fluid cleanliness. This reduces pump wear and ensures responsive control in demanding conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this filter compatible with my machine?
This filter directly replaces oil filters from Airfil, Donaldson, Fai Filtri, Filtrec, Fleetguard, HiFi Filter, MP Filtri, Mahle, Oxfil, Purolator, SF Filter, Sofima (UFI), UFI, and Woodgate. If your equipment uses any of these brands, this filter will fit. Always verify dimensions and thread type against your current filter.
What is the filtration rating and media type?
This filter uses impregnated paper media with a nominal rating of 25 microns. It removes most particles of that size and larger, balancing effective contaminant capture with the oil flow needed for proper lubrication.
What are the dimensions and will it fit correctly?
The filter has a total height of 170 mm and an outer diameter of 99 mm. The thread and gasket dimensions match those of the original filters it replaces. Compare these measurements and your machine's thread specifications to confirm fit.
How does this aftermarket filter compare to the branded version?
The SPM filter is built to match the specifications of the original branded part, with identical 25-micron filtration, dimensions, and a bypass valve set at 1.75 bar. It delivers the same reliable performance as a direct replacement, offering a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing quality.
How do I install this oil filter?
Remove the old filter and clean the mounting surface. Lightly oil the gasket on the new filter, spin it on until contact, then hand-tighten an additional three-quarter turn. Refer to your equipment manual for any specific torque requirements.
What delivery and guarantee do you offer?
We provide worldwide shipping with tracking. All SPM filters come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We also offer a price-beat guarantee: if you find a lower delivered price elsewhere, we will beat it.
