SPX Filtran understands the importance of superior filtration solutions to maintain transmission and engine longevity and performance. We are experts in contaminant analysis, and we understand our customers’ need to continually improve the application of filtration technology.

To meet the clean fluid requirements of today’s vehicles, we develop and use the most advanced filter medias, be they woven or non-woven, synthetic or non-synthetic, to remove a maximum amount of particles while providing maximum oil flow. Our Sealed-Seam Zero Leak® technology locks the filter media in place to eliminate leaks, fluid bypass, and contamination migration.

Our new DoubleDuty™ Diesel Engine Lube Filter, which extends engine life and performance while lowering maintenance costs, is part of our innovation and new product development strategy.

SPX Filtran cares about the quality of our environment and is committed to maintaining its IS0 14001 Environmental Certification.
