Lube Filters
Specialists
Engine oil contamination causes bearing and journal wear. Donaldson's full-flow and by-pass filtration systems remove particles and soot to keep oil clean between service intervals.
Why It Matters
What Lube Filters Protect
Dual-layer synthetic media combines coarse pre-filtration with fine synthetic layers. By-pass elements take 10% of flow and filter to sub-micron levels for kidney-loop clean-up.

TechnologyFull-Flow & By-Pass Dual Filtration
Donaldson lube filters use dual-layer synthetic media combining coarse pre-filtration with a fine synthetic finishing layer. By-pass filtration takes 10% of oil flow and polishes it to sub-micron levels — continuously cleaning oil between service intervals to protect bearings, journals, and cam followers.
