This oil filter element protects hydraulic and lubrication systems using inorganic microfibre media with a 12-micron absolute rating. This aftermarket cartridge is a direct replacement for elements sold under the Benati, Fai Filtri, Filtrec, Oxfil, Sofima (UFI) and UFI brands. It offers the same fit and filtration performance as the branded originals, with a total height of 265 mm, an outer diameter of 130 mm, and a smallest inner diameter of 64.5 mm. A 10-bar element collapse pressure and 1.75-bar bypass valve opening ensure reliable oil flow even under high differential pressure. By choosing this quality aftermarket part, maintenance teams achieve dependable equipment protection while reducing consumable costs.

Use cases & applications
Fine Particle Protection in Dusty Environments
The 12-micron inorganic microfibre media traps silt and wear particles that accelerate component wear. This keeps hydraulic and engine oil cleaner for longer in earthmoving, agricultural, or industrial settings where airborne dust is a constant threat.
Continuous-Duty Operation
With an element collapse pressure of 10 bar and a bypass valve that opens at 1.75 bar, this filter maintains uninterrupted oil flow during extended uptime. It prevents cold-start pressure spikes or heavy-load restrictions from starving the system while still filtering effectively.
Consolidated Spare Parts Inventory
Because this filter replaces multiple branded part numbers from Benati, Fai Filtri, Filtrec, Oxfil, Sofima and UFI, fleet managers can stock one filter for various machines. This simplifies inventory, reduces ordering complexity, and frees valuable shelf space.
Planned Maintenance Scheduling
The straightforward drop-in design allows fast replacement during routine service intervals. Technicians simply remove the old element, clean the housing, and install the new cartridge without special tools, minimising equipment downtime and labour hours.
Frequently asked questions
Does this filter fit my machine?
This filter is a direct replacement for oil filter elements originally supplied under the Benati, Fai Filtri, Filtrec, Oxfil, Sofima (UFI) and UFI brands. If your equipment requires one of those branded elements, this aftermarket cartridge will fit the same housing without modification.
What is the filtration rating and media?
It uses inorganic microfibre media that provides an absolute filtration rating of 12 microns. This fine media captures contaminants like metal particles, dust, and carbon deposits before they can cause wear in pumps, valves, and bearings.
What are the dimensions and does it have the correct thread?
The element measures 265 mm in total height with an outer diameter of 130 mm and a smallest inner diameter of 64.5 mm. While thread specifications are not published, the inner diameter is machined to slide onto the centre tube of the filter housing used by the cross-referenced part numbers, guaranteeing a precise fit.
Is this a genuine original equipment filter?
No, it is an aftermarket product built to the original dimensions and ratings for the listed cross-references. It delivers equivalent filtration performance and physical fit, offering a more cost-effective option without sacrificing quality or machine protection.
How do I install this replacement element?
Installation follows the standard cartridge replacement procedure: drain the filter housing, remove the old element, clean the housing and sealing surfaces, lubricate any O-rings with clean oil, and insert the new this filter. Always torque the housing cap to the manufacturer's specification and check for leaks after restarting.
