aFe Pro GUARD HD Oil Filter (44-LF001)

ProGuard D2 Oil Filter (44-LF001) by aFe. Pro-GUARD D2 Oil Filters deliver increased flow and efficiency that are demanded in the Diesel environment. This oil filter uses a synthetic media for maximum filtration and minimal flow restriction. The Pro-GUARD D2 Oil Filters are direct OE replacement filters which utilize the factory canisters to ensure a proper fit and hassle-free installation.

Except for racing, there are probably no more demanding conditions for an oil filter than those experienced by heavy-duty diesel trucks. Modern turbo diesel engines have high compression levels and tight tolerances, and require high rates of oil flow. aFe's NF21 full synthetic filter media achieves extreme efficiency without sacrificing flow. It provides maximum engine protection with minimal flow restriction. A heavy-duty center tube also helps to provide maximum flow.

But oil flow means little if your oil doesn't stay in the engine; if the canister can't stand up to high pressure or if it's vulnerable to external damage. The Pro Guard D2 canister has a 600 lb. burst strength rating. It's equipped with a heavy-duty coil spring and a 0.100" thick base plate for extra strength. The filter media is wire backed for strength and a heavy-duty nitrile rubber gasket provides a leak proof seal.

And even though the Pro Guard D2 Oil Filter is designed for long service life, aFe didn't forget about filter removal. To make sure you don't have to wrestle with a stuck filter, aFe welded a 1" outside, 3/8" inside nut/ratchet drive fitting to the top of the filter canister. This way the filter can be easily removed with a socket or ratchet.
