Hastings’ filters offer protectionAs modern, high-performance engines have evolved, so have therequirements for more sophisticated oil filters. While filters play a“passive” role in engine protection, they must work with thelubricating oil to keep engines protected and clean.

Modern oils perform vital functions in protecting engines, especiallyin heavy-duty situations such as trucking, construction, mining andagriculture. Lubricating oil acts to reduce friction and wear, coolengine parts, seal combustion chambers, clean engine componentsand inhibit corrosion. These functions are carried out by specialadditives in the oil, which complement the action of the oil itself. Theprotective action of the lubricating oil and its additives are supportedand balanced by the work of the lube filter.

Lube filters have the sole purpose of keeping damagingcontaminants away from sensitive engine parts. Lube filters trap oilcontaminants in two ways:

n Some particles adhere to the filter media as the oilflows through the filter. Such particles attachthemselves to the media surface without plugging upthe media pores.

n Other particles are trapped in the filter media by thepressure of the oil as it flows through the filter. As theoil changes direction in its path through the filter,particles are driven, or impinged, into the media.Ideally, most of these particles are trapped in the outerportion of the media, leaving the inner media surfacesopen to continue catching particles that slip through.Eventually, however, media pores will fill up and thefilter will begin to lose its effectiveness and will needto be replaced.

Protecting your engineAs engine power has increased, so have bearing loads, engine RPMsand operating temperatures.

Hastings filters are designed to withstand the rigorous use of today’sequipment. From the baseplate to the all-metal housing, Hastingsengineers examine all aspects of every filter. Three factors determinethe effectiveness of a lube filter in protecting an engine.

n Efficiency — The filter’s ability to trap contaminantswithin the range of sizes most likely to cause enginewear and damage. This means filtering out thoseparticles between 5 and 20 microns.

n Capacity — The amount of contaminants the filtermedia can hold before the pores begin to plug andinterrupt proper oil flow through the filter.

n Service Life — The length of time the filter cansuccessfully perform its function of trapping andholding contaminants. Service life is dependent uponthe capacity and efficiency of the lube filter.

Hastings Premium Filters offers more than 400 lube filters for mostautomotive and heavy-duty applications.

Maximum performanceHastings Premium Filters designs and manufactures lube filters tomeet or exceed the original equipment specifications established byengine and equipment manufacturers. To insure the highest qualityproduct, we test our filters according to SAE HS806 test procedures– the industry standard for lube filtration.

SAE HS806 testing shows that Hastings lube filters meet or exceedminimum standards for efficiency and capacity set by themanufacturer. The following product comparisons illustrateHastings’ superior performance.

➊ Steel Coil Spring keeps its shape, maintaining a positive loadpressure on the adapter seal and element.

À Improved Cellulose Media, with increased pleat depth, allowsgreater contaminant holding capacity and increased efficiency.

à Louvered Centertube adds strength to resist pressure surgesand maximizes flow through.

Õ All-Metal End Caps maximize filter life with increasedstability and structural strength.

ΠBy-Pass Valve allows the oil to bypass the filter in cold startor in highly restrictive conditions.

œ Positive Anti-Drainback Valve keeps oil in the filter,preventing “engine knock” and unnecessary engine wear.

– Heavy-Duty Baseplate is joined to the can with a double-rolled, tuck lock seam to resist leakage due to high pressureand vibration.

— Nitrile Gasket withstands extreme temperatures and provides aconsistent seal, preventing leaks.
