Engine air filters

Clean air is essential for diesel engines. A heavy-duty diesel engine can require between 13,000 and 20,000 litres of air to burn just one litre of fuel. This air may contain dust, smoke, smog and other contaminants that can cause engine wear and damage if they are not effectively filtered.

Fleetguard's patented OptiAir filtration system is designed to provide efficient engine protection while reducing maintenance requirements. A complete range of filter housings and elements is available, offering benefits including:

• Compact housings for limited engine compartments
• High dirt-holding capacity for longer service intervals
• Integrated pre-separation to extend filter life
• Faster servicing and reduced maintenance costs

Fleetguard offers different air filter designs for various applications:

• M Magnum filter element — Provides approximately 15% more filter surface for increased durability, including in demanding operating conditions.
• K filter element with fins — The fins create a swirling airflow that helps separate larger particles before they reach the filter media, extending filter life and improving protection.
• RS Radial Seal — Push-on elements with a 360° radial seal provide a secure fit and help prevent contaminants from entering the air intake during replacement.
