I was wondering if anyone knows if premium gaurd oil filters are good filter. And who thay are made by.

 

Never heard of it. Dodge had an old TSB about some filters that come apart internally and plug up piston cooling ports, oil passages etc. All oil filters are not created equal.

I will not put anything on my truck but a Fleetguard LF3874

 

Thats like fram I wouldnt put a fram on my lawn mower. thay are junk. I always use a wix oil filter. but everything is getting so high now. most people laugh when I tell them what kind of oil I use. I use the cheap oil at walmart. We have a 90 dodge ram dad bought it new. it has over 500,000 miles. thats what we have always put in it. but it hasnt ever been turned up. It has been good oil to me. Cause I change mine every 3000 to 5000 miles and it dont take long to get to that either.

 

Yes Fram is junk. I would probably consider a Wix though.

The Walmart oil is probably good - Im pretty sure Walmart doesnt make their own oil so its just a repackaged national brand.

You are dumping good oil. Put a Fleetguard Stratapore (LF 3874) on there to get better filtration and let the oil go 6000 miles.

 

I sure hope those bad filters on the TSB aren't Napa Gold 7620 made by wix...

 

i can get a mopar cummins filter at walmart where i live for $10 bucks thats what i use and exxon 15w40 xd3 oil

 

Unlikely - I think the TSB was targeted to Fram. But, like everything else, there are only a few companies that make products and many of the products that hit the market all have the same internals, and are simply rebadged. When you buy a Flletguard or Mopar, you can be certain you arent getting a rebadged product.

 

run a fleetguard. trust me.

 

whats wrong with the stock mopar filters? i thought they were just a dana/wix filter? never had a problem. as for oil, i use moble one delvec Its 11 dollars a gal and works very well with a quart of lucas. i swear by it and have ran it 200,000 miles with no issues and great oil psi even in the winter @ 20 below 0

 

i use triple cummins fleatguard filters from cummins northwest and cummin valvaline true blue full synthetic 5w-40
