Oil filter
 

Hey guys im wondering what the best oil filter is for my truck ive got alot of miles on it im just tryin to make sure i dont have any problems. I have been using wix is that a good choice.

I prefer synthetic oils because I live in a very cold climate. Which shouldnt be an issue for you. However, many people have put many, many miles on these engines using conventions oils. Excellent choices are: Delo 400, Rotella T, Mobile delvac 1300, Valvoline etc.

I really feel the best filter you can use for your truck is the Fleetguagrd LF3894. This filter has the Stratapore synthetic filter media (read very fine filtration) and Fleetguard is a sister company to Cummins. How could you go wrong? At the very least, stay away from Fram filters. They are junk.

Amsoil's filter :tu:

I have been using Dello 400 with the wix filter since i got the truck. When i got the truck it 200k on it an now im at 310k. I havnt had any problems. I also am using the wix fuel filter it has been doing real good.

Where do i get a fleetguard filter?

through your nearest cummins dealer or your local parts store probably order you one and if you have all kinds of money lying around your nearest dodge dealer:w2:

Yeah my budget is real tight right now im in college. So idk when ill get the money for one of the fleetguard. I hope i have enough by my next oil change but if i dont im gonna have to stick with the wix..

i usually run wix but an amsoil is going in the duramax next filter change.

I'm running ValPar 0W40 with a John Deere filter. No problems so far, and the price is great as I work for a Deere Construction Equipment dealership.:jump:

Thanks for all the help.

I have another question for you guys. Before i came to college i change my thermostat to a 185degree and i changed my coolant to john deere coolguard it worked out great truck runs real cool hauling whatever i pull. is it a bad thing that when im running down the road or jus ideling the truck runs at about half the temp that it use to
