Oil Filters

17200222 oil filter element removes contaminants from the lubricating oil. As the air compressor operates, various impurities can enter the oil system, including dirt, dust, metal particles, and water. These contaminants can cause significant damage to the air compressor's internal components if left unchecked.

The oil filter element acts as a barrier, trapping these impurities and preventing them from circulating through the oil system. By doing so, it helps to maintain the cleanliness of the oil, which is essential for proper lubrication and cooling of the air compressor's moving parts. This, in turn, reduces wear and tear on the components, extends the life of the air compressor, and improves its overall performance.
