Which filter, 10 or 25 micron?

[thechief]

Hey guys,

Just got back from TSC where they had two hydraulic fluid filters for the splitter and they had no clue which one I should get. I looked at the old one on the splitter which had no markings whatsoever. So my question, should I get the 10 or 25 micron fluid filter or does it make a difference? They are both priced the same so that isn't an issue either. Thanks again.

Using the 10 micron filter will remove much more dirt for you.

Just be sure the filter threads are the same pitch to avoid problems.

Check in your manual if you have one, The 10 micron might be too restrictive.

The 10 micron filters are pretty common on logsplitter return lines. I replace mine every couple years.
