Scania truck specialist filters: AdBlue, hydraulic and transmission
Scania trucks require several filter types beyond engine oil, fuel and air depending on their specification. Euro 6 Scania trucks fitted with SCR aftertreatment systems require periodic AdBlue dosing filter replacement. The dosing filter is a small but important maintenance item; a blocked filter reduces AdBlue delivery to the SCR catalyst and can trigger fault codes and derate conditions.
Scania R-series and S-series tractor units fitted with Scania's own Opticruise automated gearbox or ZF TraXon require transmission fluid and filter changes at the gearbox service interval. This is separate from the engine oil service. Hydraulic filters apply to Scania trucks fitted with PTO-driven hydraulic bodies, such as hook-loaders, tippers and crane-body vehicles. Coolant filters with inhibitor conditioner are fitted to Scania engines with spin-on coolant filter housings.

Frequently asked questions
How often does the AdBlue filter need replacing on a Scania Euro 6 truck?
Scania recommends AdBlue dosing filter replacement typically every 120,000-150,000 km or every two years, but the exact interval varies by model and engine variant. Always refer to the Scania maintenance schedule for your specific vehicle. Fault codes related to SCR dosing or NOx conversion are a sign the filter may be restricted ahead of the scheduled interval.
Does a Scania truck with Opticruise need a gearbox filter change?
Yes. Scania Opticruise automated gearboxes require transmission fluid and filter changes as part of the gearbox service schedule, which is separate from the engine oil service. Intervals vary but are typically in the 150,000-300,000 km range. Using Scania-approved transmission fluid is important for maintaining gearbox warranty and performance.
What hydraulic filters are required on a Scania hook-loader?
The hydraulic system on a Scania hook-loader uses a separate hydraulic oil reservoir and filter circuit for the body system. The filter specification depends on the body manufacturer and hydraulic system fitted, not solely the truck make. Refer to the body manufacturer's maintenance schedule for the correct filter type and service interval.
