What makes FilterDex different from other filter cross-reference tools

FilterDex is the free filter cross-reference tool from Vens Hydroluft. It holds 65,223 hydraulic and lube oil filter element part numbers from 35 brands, and 64,953 of them come with the micron rating, filter media and dimensions. What sets it apart is that you do not need a readable part number: you can search by the size of the old element, paste a whole list of numbers at once, and send one enquiry for everything you shortlist.

Open FilterDex to try it, or browse every part number by brand in the list further down this page.

Replacing many elements? Send us your filter list, or paste it into Bulk Search in FilterDex, and we return the full cross-reference with a quotation. You can also send any part number on WhatsApp (+91 73974 98659) or through the enquiry form.

What FilterDex does

• Part-number search that forgives how the number is typed. Spaces, dashes, dots, slashes and underscores are ignored, so 0160 D 010 BN4HC finds 0160D010BN4HC, and six or more characters of a number are enough to find the element.

• Search by dimensions. When the label has worn off, measure the outside diameter, inside diameter and length, set a tolerance in millimetres, and FilterDex lists the elements of that size across all brands.

• Search by parameters and by application. Narrow the list by micron rating, filter media and filter type, or start from the type of equipment.

• Bulk Search. Paste a whole list, one part number per line, and get the results together. This suits a plant-wide or shutdown list.

• A datasheet for every element. Download a PDF datasheet with a dimensioned drawing, or the datasheets for your whole shortlist in one go.

• Compare, shortlist and export. Put elements side by side, keep a shortlist, and export it as a CSV file.

• One enquiry for the whole list. Send the shortlist to Vens Hydroluft in a single enquiry and get one quotation.

• Free and open. There is no registration or login, and nothing to install.

How FilterDex compares with other cross-reference tools

Filter cross-reference tools come in two kinds. Filter makers run tools that cross other brands' numbers to their own elements; Schroeder, for example, says its tool covers more than 42,000 OEM part numbers. Independent databases go wider: HiStar states 95,000 OEM part numbers across 37 brands, Newline more than 500,000 cross-references for heavy-duty filters, and FilterMart more than a million. Most of these tools start from a part number, full or partial.

These figures are as each company stated them on its own website on 15 November 2026; we have not verified them. The company and product names are trade marks of their owners and are used only to identify the tools referred to.

FilterDex is not the largest of them. Where it differs is in what you can do when the part number is missing or the list is long, and in how much it tells you about each element:

• It starts from the element as well as the number. Search by dimensions finds candidates across all 35 brands when only the old element is in your hand.

• It shows the specification, not just a matching number. Micron rating, filter media and size are shown for each element, so you can check the match before you ask for a price.

• It handles whole lists. Bulk Search and a single enquiry replace dozens of separate look-ups and emails.

• Every number is published openly. The part numbers in FilterDex are listed on this site brand by brand (see Part numbers in FilterDex, by brand below), so you can check a number without opening the tool.

• There is a manufacturer behind the answer. Vens Hydroluft designs its products in Canada and manufactures the replacement elements in Chennai, India, to the same dimensions, micron rating and seal as the original.

Before you order

A cross-reference is a starting point. Check the dimensions, micron rating, seal material and collapse pressure of your element against the datasheet before ordering. Where our lists show a size as still to be confirmed, or your number is not listed, send us the part number with a photo of the old element and we will confirm the match.

Questions

Is FilterDex free?

Yes. There is no registration or login, and no charge for searches, datasheets or enquiries.

What if my part number is not in FilterDex?

Search by dimensions, or send us the part number with a photo of the old element.

Are Vens elements original parts from these brands?

No. They are replacement elements made by Vens Hydroluft to the same dimensions, micron rating and seal. The brand names are trademarks of their owners and are used only to identify the elements that Vens elements replace.
