⚠️ MICRON VARIANTS — PF598 vs PF598-10 vs PF598-30
PF598 = 5 MICRON (this filter) — finest available; for high-pressure common rail injection systems requiring fine pre-filtration | PF598-10 = 10 MICRON — standard fleet trucking (Racor 2010TM) | PF598-30 = 30 MICRON — coarse pre-filter/primary stage (Racor 2030TM) | All three are the same physical size (OD 81.8mm × H 69.9mm) — the ONLY difference is the filtration media micron rating | Confirm your Racor housing's specified micron rating before ordering; using wrong micron can cause excessive restriction (too fine) or insufficient protection (too coarse)

PF598 = 5 MICRON — WHEN TO USE 5µ vs 10µ vs 30µ
5 micron (PF598 — this filter): for high-pressure common rail injection systems (HPCR) where fine pre-filtration is critical; use when OEM specifies 2 microns; provides maximum protection for sensitive injection equipment | 10 micron (PF598-10): for most standard heavy-duty diesel applications; Racor's most commonly specified rating for on-highway truck engines | 30 micron (PF598-30): coarse pre-filter; used as the first stage in a two-stage system, or for older mechanical injection engines with lower pressure tolerances | Always verify your OEM specification
