FLEETGUARD OIL / LUBE FILTERS -- Fleetguard® has a history of innovation in lube filtration
technology. Since introducing the Fleetguard® LF502 bag filter and spool full flow lube filter for
Cummins engines in 1959, Fleetguard® has led the industry by developing increasingly advanced
products. Introduction of the LF750 by-pass filter in 1960 and the LF670 large diameter, pleated
paper, full flow, spin-on lube filter in the 1970s kept us at the forefront of technology. In the
1980s, Cummins Filtration took another step forward with the introduction of combination full
flow/by-pass filtration in the patented LF3000TM. The LF3000TM led the way for today's advanced lube
filtration systems, which provide increased engine life over all service intervals, as well as:
extended service intervals, increased vehicle uptime, decreased vehicle maintenance costs, and
reduced disposal costs. -- WHY BY-PASS FILTRATION IS SUPERIOR: With the introduction of combination
lube filtration technology, Cummins Filtration revolutionized the industry. As SAE 710813/790098
confirms, by-pass filtration reduces engine wear in the following key areas: upper connecting rod
bearing shell, lower connecting rod bearing shell, upper main bearing shell, and lower main bearing
shell. -- STRATAPORETM MEDIA: By implementing the revolutionary StrataPoreTM multi-layered media in
the 1990s, the combo filter was improved even more. StrataPoreTM was introduced in the full flow
section to work in combination with the stacked discs to remove the smallest dirt particles, which
cause the most engine damage. This configuration reduces engine wear by as much as 60% in some
applications.
