A Caterpillar dealer stated that the 2P4005 filter has a Beta of 2
for 20 to 25 micron particles and a Beta of 75 for 45 to 50 micron
particles. The chart shows an average of the two numbers.
The only thing that matters is, "How clean is the oil in your
engine?" With the filters listed in the charts above, the particle count
will be in the range of ISO 21/19/14 to 19/18/14.
Filtration by MMEL will provide ISO 16/14/11 to 16/14/10.
Each time you drop one code number lower, the number of particles is
cut in half. Two numbers lower = 1/4 the particles. Three numbers lower
= 1/8 the particles. Four numbers lower =1/16 the particles.
MMEL Filtration Will Have 1/16 As Many Particles As The Filters Shown
Above.
MMEL Filtration Will More Than Double The Life Of Your Engines.
