BGT Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 My truck gets a new air filter every time I change the oil and give it new oil & fuel filters. Sometimes I feel like THAT is even too long...and it's only a couple months.The filters in my pickup trucks generally last several years...but they don't play in the dust near as much, and probably see less miles in 3 years than the Mack does in 1 month. That one was pretty bad. Actually changing your filter too often is about the worse thing you could do. It allows the fine dust to get straight through to your engine. Of course if you like polished cylinders and don't mind in frames fairly often I guess it won't hurt much...

Another thing people don't think about. When I was still running Cat motors I used to use Cat's SOS engine oil sampling at every change (I changed my oil and filters at 300 hours as it was on/off road vocational use) Anyway one winter I started getting higher than average sodium levels in my oil. I went to my local Toromont Cat and asked the service manager about it. He said "that is the winter road salt getting in through your air filters when you are running in the wet mist." After that I started replacing my filters every spring. And I am not a fan of those gradual lockup filter restriction minders. My new Stars, I get the gauges that read restriction real time. I find them way more accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17949-change-your-air-filter/page/2/#findComment-447528 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I like my Kubota tractors. They have an inner and outer element. You change the outer and the inner is there to catch anything that may fall in when you remove the outer. But even on the big trucks, I am more careful than most dealers would be. When I remove my filters I shop vac the cans out and wipe out the intake elbows as far as I can reach. Same with greasing. I wipe the fittings off BEFORE I grease. It irritates me when I see people just push the grease gun on and start pumping the dirt in with the grease. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17949-change-your-air-filter/page/2/#findComment-447529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have Kubota, so that was all I was sure about. And my Allis Chalmers have oil bath. But I agree, it is a good idea. Back in the late 90's and 2000's I hauled wood chips. That job was brutal on air filters. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17949-change-your-air-filter/page/2/#findComment-447575 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you haul wood chips to Domtar in Huntsville. I used to haul sawdust there in the middle, late 90's from manufacturing plants just north of Toronto. I used to take it Brantford for paper too . I seem to remember that alot of the chips came from northern Ontario. I could be wrong though.

I have been by that mill because I used to work for Fowler's for a few years with my dump truck. But when I hauled wood I pulled walking floor and did bark, logs, slabs and hog fuel between the Sault and Thunder Bay, Chapleau, Sudbury and as far south as Alban, Noelville and Monetville. And chips and shavings I hauled from all over Michigan to the Sault. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/17949-change-your-air-filter/page/2/#findComment-447579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
