Compatible Models

We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.

Compatible equipment / model
  • Passenger cars with compatible 3/8-inch transmission cooler return hose
  • Light trucks and SUVs with compatible 3/8-inch cooler line
  • Power-steering return circuits that permit this filter size and restriction
  • Not for high-pressure hard lines or fuel systems

Product Overview

Fresh fluid can quickly carry leftover clutch material or metal through a rebuilt transmission, replaced steering rack, or contaminated cooler. Adding an inline return filter provides a service point for debris that the main sump filter may not catch immediately.

The filter is not universal merely because the hose measures close to 3/8 inch. Flow direction, hose inside diameter, pressure side versus return side, temperature, space, and service interval must all be confirmed.

Measure the actual hose, identify the low-pressure return or cooler circuit, compare the arrow direction, and ensure the vehicle maker allows an auxiliary filter. Do not install where a restriction could starve a pump.

Key Features & Performance

  • Internal magnet captures ferrous wear material
  • Filter media collects additional non-magnetic debris

Compatibility Notice

Northline Parts does its best to list all known compatible models, but the correct part may fit an application that is not shown above.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I install it on the high-pressure steering hose? A: No. This style is intended for compatible low-pressure return circuits.

Q: Will it fix a slipping transmission? A: No. It only filters fluid; internal damage, low pressure, valve-body faults, and clutch wear require diagnosis.

Q: How often should it be replaced? A: Follow the filter and vehicle service guidance, and replace sooner after a major contamination event.

Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
