If this has already been answered elsewhere, I apologize. But I did LOOK!

Are there any 30 micron Wix, Fleetguard or Baldwin filters that will fit the standard Racor base (no heater or sensors)? I believe that I am currently using a Racor R45 as my primary filter.

Thanks.

A 30 micron filter is barely a clod sifter. I run a 2 mic on my DaHooooley as a single filter.

Normally a 10 mic primary and a 2 mic secondary is a good deal.

OK... so are there any 10 micron substitutes?

When you say 10 micron is that absolute or nominal?

Thanks.

FWIW, Greg Landuyt at Lubrication Specialists, said that all their Racor filter ratings are absolute - as opposed to nominal. Good to know!
