MRT UniFilter Maintenance

The cost of your UniFilter will be repaid many times over, via superior filtering ability resulting in a reduction of engine wear. An increase in power and\or economy (in majority of cases) and by the elimination of the cost of replacing paper filters.

WHEN TO CLEAN AND RE-OIL.

UniFilter air filters are supplied pre-oiled with Filter Fix. Cleaning and re-oiling in normal road cars subjected to sealed highway and suburban road use will usually be required between 25,000 and 30,000 kilometres. Regular inspection is advised (approximately every 5,000km) to ensure that the element is not drying out.

More frequent maintenance may be required in dusty conditions.

TO MAXIMISE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

Conventional Round and Oval Filters; approximately every 5,000km-

Invert the filter to counteract any draining of the Filter Fix oil.
Rotate the filter to expose a cleaner area to the point of air entry.

Flat panel style filters; approximately every 5,000km - Rotate filter end for end.

HOW TO CLEAN

Remove foam or outer band from the filter's expanded metal cage. In the case of 2 stage elements check the inner foam for dirt or drying out. If the inner foam is dirty or dry service the same as outer band.
Thoroughly wash out using MINERAL TURPENTINE.

HOW TO RE-OIL

Completely saturate foam\bands with warm UniFlow Filter Fix oiling compound. A plastic ice cream container is an ideal receptical for this purpose.
Fold the foam and squeeze, DO NOT wring out, to remove all excess oil.
Note: you cannot remove to much oil by hand squeezing.
Replace bands\foam onto the metal cage. In the case of very large or tall filters, use a plastic bag over the cage to allow the foams to slide with ease onto the cage, then pull out cage from between foams and cage.

WARNING

Never allow your UniFilter element to dry out. It is the UniFilter Filter Fix oil that provides the filter's sticky surface that holds the dust particals; providing the unique dust retention that UniFilter elements are renown for. In principle, UniFilter elements work on the same basis as the human nose - a wet sticky passage collecting dust as as air passes.

FILTER FIX Filter Oil

UniFilter Filter Fix filter oil is a heavy weight mineral oil mixed with non drying glue agents. This mix of oil is very important for good filtration - as it must be liquid enough to travel and meet the dust as it builds up on the surface of the foam and thick enough so as not to drain from the foam.

The formulation of Filter Fix has taken many years to perfect, since 1978 there has been several improvements, on each occasion some two years of field testing has occurred prior to acceptance of that formula - the present formula is simply the best on the market.
