New Oil Filter for Class 2-6 Diesel Engines from Hubb

HUBB has introduced a new 8-inch spin-on oil filter to its filter portfolio designed for use on class 2 through 6 light and medium duty diesel engines that are typically seen in hard working pickup trucks, off road equipment, agricultural vehicles, buses and other vehicles and equipment.

HUBB noted that compared to gasoline-powered engines, “diesel engines produce more soot and combustion byproducts which end up in the crankcase.” In fact, most of the contaminants trapped by the oil filter are soot and sludge – byproducts of combustion – rather than engine wear particles or dust or dirt from the environment. For that purpose, diesel engines need an oil filter that is much larger and has a higher holding capacity.

HUBB’s 8-inch oil filter features the same patented filter-in-filter design as their 3-inch filter and is made with surgical stainless steel weave filtering media and two pressure differential values for more efficient oil flow, contaminant capture and increased safety. HUBB’s 8-inch reusable and cleanable filter also helps the environment by eliminating the need to dispose of used filters in landfills. It is backed with an industry first 100,000-mile performance guarantee.

According to Christopher Hubbard, the company’s founder and chief scientist who has invested more than five years of exhaustive R&D on this product, “This filter has been designed to flow better while making your oil pump run easier and reduce engine noise. In fact, you will be able to hear the difference at idle. When was the last time someone said that about an oil filter!”
