Keep your compressed air system operating reliably with a high-quality replacement air compressor oil filter from Edmac Compressor Parts. Designed for use in industrial air compressor applications, oil filters help remove dirt, metal particles, and other contaminants from the compressor lubricant as it circulates through the system.
Clean compressor oil is essential for protecting lubricated components and maintaining reliable compressor operation. As contaminants accumulate in the lubricant, the oil filter captures these particles before they can continue circulating through the compressor. A dirty, damaged, or restricted oil filter can interfere with proper lubricant flow and reduce the effectiveness of the compressor's lubrication system, making routine oil filter replacement an important part of preventive compressor maintenance.
Edmac offers replacement compressor oil filters for a wide range of air compressor makes and models. Our extensive selection makes it easy to find the correct replacement using your existing filter number, compressor information, or OEM part number.
Benefits of Replacing Your Air Compressor Oil Filter
What does an air compressor oil filter do?
An air compressor oil filter removes contaminants from the lubricant circulating through an oil-lubricated compressor. The filter captures dirt, wear particles, and other contaminants carried by the oil, helping provide cleaner lubricant to critical compressor components.
Why is replacing an air compressor oil filter important?
As an oil filter captures contaminants, it can become increasingly restricted. Regular replacement helps maintain proper lubricant flow and prevents accumulated contaminants from continuing to circulate through the compressor. A properly maintained oil filtration system helps protect lubricated components and supports reliable compressor operation.
How often should an air compressor oil filter be replaced?
Oil filter replacement intervals vary depending on the compressor manufacturer, compressor model, lubricant type, operating hours, and operating conditions. Oil filters are commonly replaced as part of scheduled compressor maintenance and lubricant changes. Always follow the maintenance interval recommended for your specific compressor.
Should I replace the oil filter when changing compressor oil?
The oil filter should generally be replaced according to the compressor manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule, which may coincide with a scheduled lubricant change. Installing a new oil filter during scheduled maintenance helps prevent contaminants captured by the old filter from remaining in the lubrication system. Follow the maintenance requirements for your specific compressor and lubricant.
What happens if an air compressor oil filter becomes clogged?
A heavily contaminated or restricted oil filter can interfere with normal lubricant flow through the compressor's lubrication system. Depending on the compressor design, inadequate filtration or lubricant flow can contribute to increased component wear, higher operating temperatures, reduced performance, and potentially costly compressor damage.
Is an air compressor oil filter the same as an air/oil separator?
No. An oil filter and an air/oil separator perform different functions within an oil-injected air compressor. The oil filter cleans contaminants from the circulating compressor lubricant, while the air/oil separator removes entrained oil from the compressed air before the air leaves the separation system. Both are important maintenance components but are not interchangeable.
