🔹 Product Overview

The KLEENOIL LDFC1868KF16 Light Duty Replacement Cartridge is a high-efficiency filter element designed to deliver consistent oil cleanliness across a wide range of applications. Engineered for use within KLEENOIL bypass filtration systems, it provides effective removal of fine particulates and water from lubricating, hydraulic, and diesel fuel oils.

Compact in design yet highly capable, this cartridge is ideal for systems where space is limited but performance remains critical.

🔹 Why You Need This Cartridge

Contamination is the primary cause of oil degradation and component wear. Without effective filtration, particles and moisture rapidly reduce oil performance, leading to increased maintenance and reduced equipment life.

The LDFC1868KF16 cartridge ensures your filtration system continues to operate at peak efficiency—removing contaminants and maintaining oil in optimal condition for longer.

🔹 Where It’s Used

Designed for use within KLEENOIL LDU systems, this cartridge is suitable for:

• Small engines and lubrication systems
• Compact hydraulic systems
• Gearboxes and transmissions
• Diesel fuel systems
• Mobile and industrial equipment

Its compact size makes it ideal for space-restricted installations.

🔹 How It Works

The cartridge uses cellulose depth filtration technology, offering superior performance compared to conventional surface filters.

• Oil enters through the core of the cartridge
• It is forced through multiple layers of filtration media
• Particles are trapped throughout the structure
• Water is absorbed within the cellulose fibres
• Clean oil exits and returns to the system

This ensures high filtration efficiency and excellent dirt-holding capacity, even in demanding conditions.

🔹 Key Benefits

• Removes particles down to 3 micron
• High-efficiency filtration (β10 ≥ 1170 / 99.9%)
• Removes up to 99.8% water
• Compact design for confined installations
• High dirt-holding and water absorption capacity
• Cost-effective and easy to replace

🔹 Performance & Construction

Built using advanced filtration materials, the cartridge combines durability with efficiency:

• Filter Media: Long-fibre cellulose (biodegradable core)
• Outer Wrap: Polyester support layer
• Water Capacity: Approx. 200ml per cartridge
• Flow Capability: Up to 250 LPH
• Low Pressure Drop: <0.2 bar (clean filter)

This design ensures consistent filtration performance and long service life.

🔹 Technical Specifications

🔹 Filter Replacement (Quick & Clean Process)

Changing your KLEENOIL cartridge is a simple and clean process, designed for minimal mess and quick servicing.

1. Remove the lid
   Undo the retaining bolt and keep safe for refitting.
2. Prepare the new cartridge
   Unpack the new filter and keep the protective bag aside—you’ll use this for removal of the old element.
3. Remove the used filter (cleanly)
   Place the bag over the filter housing, reach in, and lift the used cartridge out using the web handles.
   Carefully turn the bag over the filter and seal it to contain oil residue for clean handling.
4. Check and clean the lid
   Wipe the lid with a clean cloth and remove the old lid seal.
   Replace with the new seal, ensuring the sealing surface is clean and free from debris.
5. Install the new filter
   Insert the new cartridge with the brass ring facing upwards, pushing it fully into position.
6. Refit and secure
   Replace the lid and tighten the bolt to ensure a secure seal.
7. Run and check
   Start the system and allow it to run for a few minutes.
   Check the lid area to confirm there are no leaks and the seal is effective.
8. Dispose responsibly
   Dispose of the used cartridge in accordance with local regulations for oil-contaminated waste.
