Steering gear oil filters are components that remove contaminants from the hydraulic fluid in steering systems, ensuring smooth operation. They protect the steering gear and pump from wear by filtering out debris and particles. Regular maintenance of these filters is essential for optimal steering performance and longevity.

Steering Gear Oil Filters:
Size: Typically 2.5 to 4 inches in diameter, 3 to 6 inches in length
Grade: Micron rating of 10 to 25 microns
Viscosity: Compatible with ATF or power steering fluids (ISO VG 32 to 46)
Buoyancy: N/A (non-floating design)
Material: Synthetic fiber, cellulose, or metal mesh media; steel or aluminum housing

Steering Systems:
Type: Hydraulic (rack-and-pinion, recirculating-ball), Electric (EPS)
Fluid Grade: ATF Dexron III/VI or manufacturer-specific power steering fluid
Viscosity Range: 5W-20 to 10W-30 (hydraulic), N/A (electric)
Operating Pressure: 1,000 to 1,500 psi (hydraulic)
Material: Aluminum or cast iron housing, steel gears, rubber/PTFE seals
