| Monitor Filter Change Intervals |
|
Be sure to monitor your filter change interval. Premature plugging is usually a sign of a problem that merits further investigation. This may be caused by airborne dust coming from nearby construction or a prolonged dry spell raising atmospheric dust levels. Whatever the source of dirt, the root cause should be investigated, and the seals or breathers may need to be serviced or upgraded accordingly. In certain cases, the problem may be associated with a change in the performance of the filter from your supplier. Extremely long filter life is as much of a concern as too short of a life.

Lubrication is a word that’s often used in regards to machinery reliability and maintenance, but what exactly is lubrication?

From "How to Select a Motor Oil and Filter for Your Car or Truck":
If you're going to pay a premium to get a high-performance filter, look carefully at the capture efficiency (particle size retention) of the filter. For instance, a filter that has a capture efficiency of 95 percent for particles larger than 10 microns will remove 95 percent of the particles larger than 10 microns on a single pass, while 5 percent of the particles larger than 10 microns will pass through the filter. It is worth noting that this performance property is a particularly large component of the premium price you're paying for good filtration.
