Getting ready to go on a short trip ,had about 4K on the oil so i just changed my oil and came across a k&n oil filter, was comparing it to the fram i had PH3976A and noticed that the fram has 6 3/8" holes on top while the K&n filter has 8 which 7 or about 1/4" or so and 1 was a little bit larger also the inner screen looked somewhat like a cheese grader. guess i will find out how my truck does cause it is on the truck now. Just wondering if anyone has used them a bit pricey? OH the filter was K&N perf.gold HP-4003. Thanks

ha ha yeah look at me sorry never have used one

The only oil filter I would trust is FLEETGUARD. (Cummins made filter)

Me too..Fleetguard Stratapore (LF-3849) is the only filter that ever touches my baby.

Heard some horror stories about K&N oil filters.

Most people buy a K&N because it got that 1" nut welded on the bottom... Big deal...

So far every oil change I never hand to use a oil filter wrench or other tool to remove my filter. I can twist it off by hand every time. thread the filter till it makes contact. On the rear side of the filter make a scratch mark or similar. Now twits it 3/4 of a turn the mark will face the passenger side! Your done...

I 3rd that, when I bought my truck I bought 8 fleetguard filters from
genos.

A mechanic buddy of mine has rebuilt 2 Cummins engines that had K&N oil filters on them.

I use either fleetgaurd or the mopar filter, only filters that say they are approved by cummins, I was told the was some sort of techincal bulitin put out by cummins not to use fram filters because for some reason the filtering media was coming apart and cloging passages and causing the engine to blow. The guy that works on my truck told me that, and said he still had the original bullitin he received from cummins if I didn't believe him.
