Oil Filter Element 75 Mic w/o Bypass

The Peterson Fluid Oil Filter Element 75 Micron without Bypass is a precision replacement filter designed for use in the Peterson 400 Series fluid filtration systems. This 75-micron stainless steel screen element provides critical particulate control in high-performance hydraulic and fluid circulation applications where contamination management directly impacts system longevity and component protection.

The 75-micron filtration rating captures particles smaller than typical wear debris generated by pumps and motors, protecting downstream components and extending fluid service life. The stainless steel screen construction resists corrosion and chemical attack from modern synthetic and traditional fluid formulations. At 2.3 × 2.3 × 6.7 inches and weighing 0.4 lbs, this element integrates directly into Peterson's 8–16 AN 400 Series filter housings without modification. The no-bypass design ensures all fluid passes through the filter medium—critical in applications where unfiltered bypass flow would compromise protection.

Operators of racing engines, hydraulic systems, aircraft refueling equipment, and high-volume fluid transfer systems depend on 75-micron filtration to prevent pump cavitation, valve stiction, and accelerated seal wear. This element suits maintenance intervals where contaminant loading is moderate and system pressure remains below the Peterson 400 Series housing rating. Check your vehicle or equipment documentation to confirm compatibility with Peterson's AN fittings and filter bowl dimensions before purchase.

Stainless steel screen filters offer superior durability compared to paper or synthetic media in applications exposed to thermal cycling, moisture, or aggressive cleaning procedures. The Peterson 09-0440 element is a consumable item and should be inspected regularly for collapse, bypass valve activation, or visible contamination—visual indicators that the element has reached its service life and requires replacement to maintain system integrity.
