Air Filter Restriction Indicator

Have not seen any of them work for me so far. Guess it all depends on the set up but I have never been impressed. Just plan on doing the change every so many miles. I bought the Fleet Air Filter so I am gonna clean it every so many miles and be done.

 

High Flow Performance Air Filter With Washable Element Media Fits Freightliner, International - 4 State Trucks

This is what mine looks like. Original plan was to change/wash at every 30K but I might push it to 50 k.

 

Yea that seems crazy. My other Volvo seemed like it would go 150K before seeing any issues. Gonna guess it was because something was not working right. HA Ha

 

I have dual breathers as well. My guage on my dash stopped working too. But when it worked never came out of the green. I change it every 2 years.

 

When I drove for the flatbed company we ran dual 15” cleaners and weren’t really off road or in the dust much to speak of. I think our shop checked them once a year.

Even running on the highway all the time I’m getting 80k or so out of my single one under the hood. Dual 15’s is a ton of filter to plug up.

 

The gauge on my truck never worked. When i was running off road everyday i would change it every 6 months or so... Highway u could probably get over 100k easily

 

I’ve seen those indicators on an FLD show it’s good, meanwhile the air filter collapsed from being so plugged up with dirt.
