Compare! The powerful Perkins filter excels here!
One unit Perkins (珀金斯) The engine is composed of many high-quality, precisely designed and machined parts that work together to create a smoothly operating, powerful, and low-emission power system.
So what is the cornerstone supporting the entire Perkins (珀金斯) engine business?

Replacing filters based on other considerations by choosing non-original parts carries certain risks, which can lead to more parts needing repair or overhaul. Traditional oil filters are spin-on type, located inside a metal canister. This means that generally, the inside cannot be seen, making it impossible to judge the quality. To demonstrate the risks of using non-original filters, we cut open both original and non-original filters for comparison.
Original Perkins oil filter, for example part number: 2654407
Modern filter design uses the latest filtration media technology
A large number of pleated layers. The filtration media fills the filter cartridge from top to bottom, maximizing the filtration surface area.
A sturdy nylon material center tube resists bending and collapse under high oil pressure.
Strong adhesive bonds the media to the metal end cap to prevent leakage through the filtration media.
Effective bypass valve ensures oil only bypasses during heavy load and engine start-up.

Non-original oil filter sample - Our findings:
1. A 10% reduction in filter element length means less filtration media and reduced filtration capacity;
2. The number of pleated layers in the filtration media is reduced by 30%, meaning less media and decreased filtration ability;
3. The metal center tube provides opportunities for metal debris shedding and sensor component abrasion;
4. More prone to bending and collapse under high oil pressure during rapid start-up;
5. Weak adhesion between media and end caps, with heat cycling causing adhesive failure;
6. Causes oil leakage through the filter, resulting in unfiltered oil circulating around the engine;
7. Weak bypass spring. Frequent opening is likely, preventing oil from passing through the filter, thus reducing filtration frequency;

Risks of using non-original parts
With a 45% reduction in intermediate filtration media material, filtration capacity is greatly reduced;
The filter may clog before its expiration, reducing service life;
Shortened intervals between maintenance mean the engine will require more frequent repairs, increasing additional costs and labor;
Increased risk of wear and damage to piston rings, bearings, and other cylinder components;
Wear on rings and bearings further leads to increased fuel consumption and emissions;
