Cummins Filtration has announced the release of the Fleetguard LF14000NN lube filter as a standard for new Cummins ISX diesel engines.

LF14000NN uses NanoNet media, a patented polymeric nanotechnology-based synthetic media originally developed for the company’s Fleetguard fuel filter applications.

“Many of the characteristics that make NanoNet media so successful in fuel filter applications translate well to lube filters,” said Brad Long, Senior Engineering Technical Advisor, Cummins Filtration.

“By pairing NanoNet with our proven StrataPore synthetic media, we can offer a lube filter that’s suited to meet the needs of today’s advanced engine platforms and lubricants as well as those coming in the near future.”

The NanoNet media in lube filtration removes and retains 98.7 per cent of all particles as small as 12 microns.

In the case of LF14000NN lube filter, the NanoNet and StrataPore media structures work together for improved particle removal, capacity and cold-flow ability.

“Our NanoNet media structure enables much higher cold-flow ability than competitors while retaining its high efficiency characteristics in filtering lube oil,” Long said.

“High cold-flow ability means less restriction and faster oil lubrication during cold start-up, and lubricating and protecting the vital engine components. Filter efficiency, capacity and cold-flow ability are all improved.”
