🔧 Why Invest in Premium Brand Filters

Saving a few dollars on a generic air filter puts a thousands-dollar engine at risk. Filters from brands like Fleetguard or Donaldson are tested to withstand humidity and extreme heat without warping. An engine that breathes well performs better.

Benefits of using OEM brand filters:

• Complete engine protection against abrasive particles
• Extending the lifespan of the turbocharger
• Reduced fuel consumption through optimized airflow
• Longer maintenance intervals thanks to increased retention capacity
• Perfect compatibility with original air intake systems

Signs You Need to Change Your Air Filter:

• It has reached the change interval recommended by the manufacturer
• Loss of engine power
• Increased fuel consumption
• Black smoke from the exhaust (rich mixture due to lack of air)
• Air restriction indicator activated
• visibly dirty or saturated filter

Installation Procedure:

• Turn off the engine and wait for it to cool down
• Open the air filter housing
• Remove the used filter carefully
• Cover the air inlet to prevent dirt from entering
• Clean the inside of the casing with a clean, dry cloth
• Inspect the casing for cracks or damage
• Check the condition of the housing seal
• Remove the new filter from its packaging.
• Inspect the urethane seal of the new filter
• Install the new filter, making sure it is seated correctly.
• Close the casing and secure all closures.
• Check for air leaks
• Reset the restriction indicator if applicable

Recommended Change Intervals:

• Severe service (construction, mining): 25,000 - 40,000 km
• Normal service (highway): 40,000 - 80,000 km
• Always consult your engine manufacturer's manual
• Change sooner if the restriction indicator tells you to.
• Consider shorter intervals in very dusty environments

Admission System Inspection:

• Check all hoses for cracks or loose connections
• Inspect the clamps for proper tightening
• Check the pre-cleaner (if applicable) for proper functioning
• Inspect the dust discharge valve
• Check that there are no air leaks in the system

Safety Filter Maintenance:

• The safety filter should NOT be changed for each service
• Replace it only if the primary filter failed and allowed dirt to pass through.
• It is typically changed every 3-4 primary filter changes
• Never operate without a safety filter if your system requires one.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

• Blowing out the filter with compressed air: Damages the filter medium
• Reusing used filters: Reduces efficiency and can cause damage
• Do not clean the housing: It will contaminate the new filter.
• Forcing the filter: May damage the seal
• Ignoring the restriction indicator: Causes power loss

Pro Tips:

• Inspect the used filter for metallic particles (indicates engine problems)
• Document the filter part number for future reference.
• Keep the receipt to validate the engine warranty
• Use only filters that meet the manufacturer's specifications
• Consider using a pre-cleaner for very dusty environments
• Check the restriction indicator regularly between changes
