Cat Advanced High Efciency Engine Oil Filters

Improved Filtration for a Cleaner Engine

Cat Advanced High Efciency Engine Oil Filters increase contamination control performance providing for a much cleaner running engine lubrication system. Cat Advanced Oil Filters provide enhanced ltration without the shorter change intervals often required by other brands higher efciency lters. The Cat 1R-1807 and 1R-1808 lters contain an improved, higher efciency lter media. This media is designed to increase contaminant capturing efciency while maintaining excellent dirt holding capacity characteristics. The Cat 1R-1807 and 1R-1808 lters offer better ltration efciency than standard oil lters, improved engine cleanliness and a longer component life.

Cat Advanced High Efciency Engine Oil Filters

An Option for Improved Engine Oil Filtration The Cat Advanced Oil Filters are now installed on new engines in production. They are also the approved upgrade option for Cat engine models that use the 1R-0739 and 1R-0716 Standard Efciency Engine Oil Filters.

Improved Filtration for Less Wear To increase contamination control capability, the Cat Advanced Oil Filter combines improved ltration efciency, excellent contaminant holding capacity and low pressure drop characteristics. The graphs to the right demonstrate in blue the improved ltration efciency the 1R-1807 and 1R-1808 lters offer over the corresponding standard efciency lters. The result is less wear on oil lubricated engine parts.

1) Spiral roving and beading for pleat stability to better trap and hold particles 2) Properly cured lter media for long performance and life 3) One-piece aluminum base plate 4) Strong nylon center tubes to prevent metal contamination 5) A heavy gauge canister for structural strength 6) One-piece molded urethane end caps to eliminate leaks Caterpillar manufactures over 80 percent of its liquid lter volume on an automated assembly line. This strict quality control eliminates variation from part to part. For more information, visit us on the Web at www.cat.com

Retained Capacity (grams)

The Cat Advanced Oil Filter provides improved ltration efciency with little effect on dirt holding capacity. Therefore, the condition of the oil as determined by SOSSM Services Analysis, and not lter capacity, Caterpillar Advanced High Efficiency Oil Filter Dirt Holding Capacity Performance is the major factor in determining the 200 recommended oil change interval. 180 The bar graph to the left illustrates 160 140 the relative dirt holding capacity of the 120 Advanced Filters and corresponding 100 80 Standard Efciency Filters.
