Lube Filtration Extended Oil Drain Intervals
Extended Oil Drain Intervals Oil service intervals are pre-determined by engine manufacturers (OEM’s) and are designed to provide maximum engine protection under a wide variety of conditions. While a majority of equipment owners follow these guidelines there is a growing trend to extend oil service intervals beyond the OEM recommendations. However, extended oil drain intervals are not for every application. Consider the following: • Ensure oil meets the American Petroleum Institutes’ (API) qualification criteria • An extended oil drain schedule beyond the OEM’s normal service interval should always be conducted in conjunction with a regular oil sampling and testing program • Equipment operating extremes of heat, cold, idle time, airborne contaminants, and engine load negatively affect oil • New engine designs today are cleaner burning with reduced emissions and make excellent candidates for extended oil drain intervals • High-efficiency oil filters will help remove more contaminants, resulting in longer oil life
Donaldson Blue ® Lube Filters Donaldson Blue lube filters are designed specifically for extended maintenance programs. Donaldson Blue filters maintain oil health over the new drain interval and can last as long as the oil. All it takes is a simple cross reference of your current lube filter and you’ll reduce oil consumption, increase engine protection and reduce operating costs. Our Donaldson Blue lube filters use Synteq™ media, which is more effective than standard cellulose filter media at removing small contaminants. It improves lubricant flow and offers increased dirt holding capacity for extended oil drains. Donaldson Synteq™ media technology delivers the optimal balance of efficiency, capacity and restriction for lube systems. Features • Removes more than 90% of contaminants that are 10 microns or larger (cellulose filters typically remove 50% or less) • Double the contaminant carrying capacity of standard cellulose filters – for much longer life • Delivers lower restriction to provide maximum oil flow and lubrication. • Heavy-duty, long life seals to support extended service life Benefits • Designed specifically to provide longer filter life • Increase engine protection • Reduce operating costs
Upgrade from Competitive Filters to Donaldson Blue ® Donaldson Blue filters are direct replacements to standard filters – no system modifications or special disposal requirements. Just a simple cross reference of your current lube filter and you’ll reduce oil consumption, increase engine protection and reduce operating costs.
