Forklift Oil Filters

When an oil change is due and the shelf is empty, you want the right forklift oil filter by its number, not a guess. About 270 listings are gathered here, and most are engine oil filters. A few are for transmissions, and the list also reaches into aerial lifts and floor scrubbers, so the maker named in the listing matters as much as the number.

Oil Filters by Equipment Maker

Toyota and Caterpillar have the most listings, about 23 each. Among forklift makers, Clark follows with about 19, then Mitsubishi with about 13 and Hyster with about 11. For the aerial lift side, Genie has about 16 filters and JLG about 9, and a Genie listing sometimes names the model, as in "FOR GENIE S-40 ELEMENT, ENGINE OIL FILTER 215292". Yale and Advance have about 9 each.

If you already know the make, these pages cover everything it has: Caterpillar, Clark, Mitsubishi, Hyster, Yale, Genie, JLG and Advance each have their own parts page. You can also search by part number at the top of any page, or browse by manufacturer if you'd rather start from the machine.

Finding the Number on the Old Filter

Clark and Hyster numbers are short and plain, such as 910814 and 1584120. Toyota ones are dashed and sometimes end in -71 or -81, like 15601-23480-71 and 00591-72368-81. Mitsubishi shows up in two spellings of one number, A000029041 and A0000-29041, so if the first search finds nothing, move the dash and try again.

Another group of listings goes by the filter brand's code instead of the truck maker's. Examples include "FOR WIX Oil Filter 919P", "FOR Baldwin B7165, oil filter", "FOR MOTORCRAFT Oil Filter EFL29" and "FOR DONALDSON Oil Filter P779212". If the canister is stamped with one of those names, search that code and ignore the truck maker.

Engine, Transmission and Hydraulic Return Filters

Most of what's on this page is for engine oil, but read the listing's wording before you order. About 9 listings use the word element, as in "ELEMENT ENGINE OIL FILTER", meaning the cartridge that goes inside a housing. Four are transmission filters, and one Yale listing, "FOR Yale 506829500, ELEMENT, HYDRAULIC RETURN OIL FILTER", is a hydraulic return element. For the hydraulic circuit generally, the hydraulic filters page is the bigger set.

Oil filters are one stop on a routine service. The air filters page has more than 3,000 listings, fuel filters has about 120, and all forklift filters sits one level up.

Forklift Oil Filter FAQ

What do the Ford and General Motors listings mean?

Several listings name Ford or General Motors as the make, and the number that follows, such as 5012035 or 7984225, is the one to match against the code on your old filter.

Why are some filter numbers written with a slash?

A few codes include one, as in "FOR MANN Oil Filter W712/21". Enter it the way it's printed on the canister.
