Komatsu Eco-White filters

Komatsu replaced blended cellulose/synthetic hydraulic-filter media with 100-percent synthetic media, making its filters longer-lasting and cleaner to replace. Eco-White filters are good for 1,000 hours of service, instead of the 250-hour change interval recommended with cellulose filters, and they more than double oil service life to 5,000 hours. They're half the size of cellulose filters, so they don't hang down in the hydraulic oil in the tank. The filter comes out relatively dry, rather than dripping contaminated oil into the tank.
