Filtering out additives

Read our primer articles on Grease Guns and Oil Sight Glasses.

I am setting up our lube program and am curious if using too high of particulate filters in a filter cart can strip out additives. I am planning on using 5 micron filters.

Unless your oils have insoluble additives greater than 5 micron. We use 5 and 3 micron filter housings in our filter carts on a regular basis, used for hydraulic oils and oils with viscosities less than 100VG. Good that you are cleaning up your oils.
