 When evaluating oil filters, you must understand important terms such as pore size, porosity, flow rate and differential pressure, as well as the different filter types and when each is used. Watch this 8-minute, 22-second video to find out how the various rating systems are determined, why efficiency is critical, how to compare filters, what to watch out for, precautions to take when you increase filtration, and much more.

| When it comes to regreasing bearings, more is not always the better option and actually can be a costly mistake. Instead, greasing should be set on a frequency with proper calculations used to determine the amount of grease needed at each relubrication. |

Question: Environmental particle contaminants are typically harder or softer than machine surfaces?
|
GET THE ANSWER
| Mixing oils with different additive packages is never recommended. Doing so could compromise the additive performance of both constituents, cause corrosion of component surfaces and lead to increased mechanical wear. Trending of some oil analysis properties also will be compromised. |
