As engine power has increased, so have bearing loads, engine RPMs and operating temperatures.
Hastings filters are designed to withstand the rigorous use of today's equipment. From the baseplate to the all-metal housing, Hastings engineers examine all aspects of every filter. Three factors determine the effectiveness of a lube filter in protecting an engine.
Efficiency— The filter's ability to trap contaminants within the range of sizes most likely to cause engine wear and damage. This means filtering out those particles between 5 and 20 microns.
Capacity— The amount of contaminants the filter media can hold before the pores begin to plug and interrupt proper oil flow through the filter.
Service Life— The length of time the filter can successfully perform its function of trapping and holding contaminants. Service life is dependent upon the capacity and efficiency of the lube filter. Hastings Premium Filters offers more than 400 lube filters for most automotive and heavy-duty applications.
It is illegal to dispose of used oil or oil filters in a sanitary landfill or public waterway. Many towns have free hazardous waste drop-off sites, which a quick internet search will help you find.
