Description

Sullivan-Palatek Oil Filter Replacement - 00520-016

How it Works

When your Sullivan-Palatek air compressor system is compressing air, oil is transferred from the sump tank to the air end to help lubricate the bearings. An oil filter offers an integral barrier of protection from contamination by foreign particles that have gotten past your air filter and into the sump tank.

Design

The 00520-016 replacement filter is constructed with the top quality materials to be able towithstand burst pressure ratings required by Sullivan-Palatek. Spin-on oil filter elements are installed by easily spinning off and replacing the current filter element on your Sullivan-Palatek compressor. 

Our Sullivan-Palatek 00520-016 replacement oil filter is manufactured of synthetic, paper, metal, mesh or cloth with a micron rating matching Sullivan-Palatek's specifications. We are so confident in our product that we offer an industry best manufacturer's defect warranty for the life of the oil filter.

Importance

The proper selection and use of filters will prevent long term problems with your Sullivan-Palatek system and save you a lot in down-time and compressor system component replacement costs over the life of your Sullivan-Palatek air compressor system. Other filters are not designed to withstand the extreme pressure environment of your Sullivan-Palatek air compressor system and using other filters without the burst pressure ratings recommended by Sullivan-Palatek can result in complete failure of the filters and ultimately your air compressor system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 00520-016 filter compatible with my Sullivan-Palatek compressor?

Yes. The 00520-016 oil filter replacement is designed for Sullivan-Palatek rotary screw compressors. If this matches your part manual or spec sheet, you’re good to go. Not sure? Check your manual.

How often should I replace the 00520-016 oil filter?

We recommend replacing this oil filter every 2,000 hours of operation. Regular replacement keeps your compressor’s lubrication system clean and protects bearings and rotors from premature wear.

Is this an OEM part?

This is an OEM-equivalent replacement part. It’s designed to meet or exceed the same quality and performance standards as the original Sullivan-Palatek filter without the name-brand price tag.

Why is it important to replace the oil filter regularly?

Oil filters prevent contaminants from circulating through the compressor’s lubrication system. A clean filter ensures proper oil flow, improved efficiency, and reduced wear on critical components.

What happens if I don’t change the 00520-016 oil filter on time?

A clogged or neglected filter can restrict oil flow, cause higher operating temperatures, and increase wear on rotors and bearings. Left too long, it can lead to costly downtime and major repairs.

How difficult is it to install?

The 00520-016 is a direct-fit replacement, so installation is quick and straightforward. Most users can complete the swap in just a few minutes with minimal tools. Always shut down and depressurize your compressor before starting maintenance.

Will this filter affect my compressor’s performance?

Yes! But in a positive way. A clean, high-quality filter helps your compressor run cooler, smoother, and more efficiently, while extending the life of your machine.

Absolutely. We stock air filters, separators, synthetic oils, rebuild kits, and more for Sullivan-Palatek compressors. If you don’t see what you need, just ask and we’ll help you find it.
