Help keep your engine running all day long
A high capacity filter means more oil and more filtering media. The added oil volume also helps if you are a quart or two low and pushing hard on a hot day, but don’t forget to maintain the quality of filter medium (ex. a 1 gallon filter with a 100 micron rating is worse than a 1 quart filter with a 20 micron rating).
Here are three easy upgrades:
- People running four cylinder Perkins diesel (models 4108, 4236, 4248) can switch from the four cylinder Perkins filters (Perkins P/N 2654403) to the six cylinder Perkins filters (Perkins P/N 2654407).
- People running four cylinder Ford industrials (Models 172, 192, LSG423, etc.) can upgrade from Ford P/N D9A2-6731-A (FL-1A) to a high capacity filter used as an option on Ford V-8”s (Wix P/N 51773)
- People running 3 and 4 cylinder Deutz 912 diesels can switch to the larger 5 and 6 cylinder 912 Deutz oil filter.
If these are too large for your application consider switching to a remote filter location to get added room. These remote filter kits typically including all the lines, brackets, high capacity filters, etc that you need; call our parts department for help locating what you need.
Always remember, when you change filters, fill the new filters full of the new oil to prevent a dry start up. (If the filter is empty, the engine must first fill it before it circulates in the lube oil system. This is now even more important with a larger capacity oil filter.)
