WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
Your diesel’s filters are its first line of defense. Quality filtration protects your engine, injectors, and vital components from harmful dirt, soot, and metal particles that can shorten lifespan and kill performance. Investing in premium filters keeps your rig running clean, strong, and ready for every haul.




Efficiency Scores Matter
Filter efficiency isn’t just a number – it tells you how well your filter traps contaminants before they reach critical parts. The higher the efficiency score, the cleaner your oil, fuel, air, or hydraulic system stays, which means less wear and more power when you need it most.
Understanding Micron Ratings
Micron ratings measure the size of particles a filter can catch. A lower micron rating means it traps smaller contaminants. Whether it’s a fuel filter catching fine debris or an oil filter stopping metal particles, the right micron rating keeps your diesel protected under extreme conditions.
Why Flow Rates Are Crucial
Flow rate tells you how quickly oil, fuel, or air passes through the filter. Too low, and your engine starves under load. Too high with poor filtration, and harmful particles slip through. The best filters balance optimal flow with absolute filtration to keep your diesel breathing easy and running strong.
Application Across All Filters
Whether it’s your air filter keeping turbochargers clean, your oil filter protecting bearings, your fuel filter safeguarding injectors, your CCV filter managing crankcase vapors, or your transmission filter keeping shifts crisp, understanding these ratings ensures you choose the best replacement filters to protect your build.

MICRON SIZE 101: THE BREAKDOWN
This chart breaks down the size of different particles—from salt ions all the way up to sand—and shows what kind of filtration it takes to catch them. It also gives you a sense of how small these particles really are by comparing them to what kind of microscope you'd need to even see them. The takeaway? Not all filters are built the same, and knowing the micron size your filter can handle makes all the difference when it comes to protecting your diesel. We also show you where Doc's Diesel filters fall on this chart, which meets or exceeds OEM Requirements.
