| ↔ D112G25BV | Filtrec | partial | Filtrec's official Cross Navigator maps WIX 57862 to FILTREC D112G25BV as a direct replacement, publishing the FILTREC element's OD/ID/height envelope and media grade. Rated micron differs (25 vs 22 µm) — verify efficiency class and collapse/seal for the housing before substituting. |

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Line type is not interchangeable: return-line cartridges are low-collapse executions that typically tolerate roughly 10–20 bar differential, while pressure-line elements are commonly rated 100–210 bar. Installing a low-collapse element in a pressure housing can rupture the media on cold-start spikes.
- This element has no integral bypass — opening pressure is set by the housing’s reusable bypass valve. Confirm the valve setting (commonly 3.4 bar) is present before fitting.
- “10 µm nominal” and “12 µm at β1000” can describe the very same media — one is reported at β≥200, the other at β≥1000 per ISO 16889. Compare ratings at the same Beta test point, not just the printed micron number.
- This execution uses nitrile (nbr) seals — verify the compound against the fluid data sheet: standard nitrile (NBR) can fail early in phosphate-ester fluids and at sustained high temperature, where fluorocarbon/Viton executions may be required.
- End-cap geometry and the number/position of O-rings block interchange even when OD and length match — visually compare end caps before fitting, especially with aftermarket cartridges.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the 57862 filter element?
The published envelope is 45 mm OD × 210 mm length with a 25 mm inside diameter (1.772 × 8.268 in × 0.984 in ID). Confirm against the housing drawing before ordering.
What micron rating does 57862 use?
This element is rated 25 µm (nominal class) — β25 = 200. Always compare Beta ratings at the same test point: two brands may print different micron numbers for the same physical grade.
What replaces the 57862 filter element?
3 partial match(es) requiring parameter review
How do I read the 57862 part number?
See the designation decoder above: each segment of 57862 encodes size, line type, filtration grade and media/collapse execution.
Is a same-envelope aftermarket element always a drop-in replacement?
No. Matching OD and length only proves the cartridge fits the bowl. End-cap style, seal compound, micron/Beta rating, collapse pressure and bypass configuration must also match; the table above tags every equivalent as full, partial or verify for exactly this reason.
How often should a hydraulic filter element be replaced?
Replace at the housing manufacturer’s recommended differential-pressure setting (commonly signalled by a clogging indicator), or on a time-based service interval when no indicator is fitted — never wait for bypass to open continuously, because unfiltered oil then reaches the valves.
