Power steering filter

Where is the power steering filter on a 2000 Spartan Chassis (Newmar, Cummins)
  • According to Spartan:


    Hydraulic System

    In Tank Filter: Filter part #87610A Nelson
    Hydraulic Fluid: All Production Models - AW 32 or AW 46 hydraulic oil

    Service Interval:

    Spin-On Synthetic Filter: Every 12,000 miles or yearly
    In Tank Filter: Every 2 years or 24,000 miles

    Note: If your chassis does not have the spin on filter, you must change the filter and fluid every 12,000 miles or yearly.



    I have found the fluid stays pretty clean so I can't imagine it getting plugged, but I would definitely change it on a regular basis. It's pretty easy to do.

  • Didn't know it had one. What's the result if it gets plugged up? Just curious, I just spent a lot of money on my power steering. Hope it wasn't needless.
  • Think the location has been identified well. The filter is probably white with red lettering. Also there probably is a filter inside the hydraulic reservoir.
  • 05 Spartan Mountain Master chassis and mine is in the canister too. Any questions about the filter P/N or location just call Spartan with your VIN, they are always helpful.

  • If you have a side radiator chances are that the same reservoir is used for the cooling fan and the power steering. Mine is located in the back near the engine the filter is in the canister.
