 Fuel Filters & Water Separators: Replace fuel filters every 500 hours of operation or 12 months. Drain water from separators (326-1641, FBO60335) weekly to prevent water buildup. Inspect filter media for discoloration—replace if it appears dark or clogged. Use only compatible fuel filters to avoid injector damage.

 Air Filters: Clean foam pre-filters (PR2554) every 50 hours of operation with mild detergent and air dry before reinstalling. Replace main air filters (PA2554, PA1765) every 1000 hours or when the pressure drop exceeds 20 inches of water column. For mud pump air filters (RS3510/RS3512), clean pre-filters daily in dusty drilling environments.

 Specialized Filters: Replace hydraulic filters (BT287) every 1000 hours or if hydraulic fluid appears cloudy. Water filters (BW5139) should be replaced every 6 months, and cooling system filters (WF2071) every 12 months. Inspect separators (02250100-755) monthly for oil/water buildup—drain as needed.
