August 3, 201014 yr I use a Fleetguard Stratopore with a Frantz Bypass TP filter.... I would evaluate the filter by the size of particle it can remove in a single pass. GB I'm looking for opinions! What type of information is available on oil filters for the 24v engine. In this day and age is there any real differnces?
August 3, 201014 yr Owner I tend to hold true to the Cummins / Fleetguard filters... Also running Frantz filter too...
August 3, 201014 yr Lots of folks run Amsoil filters with there favorite brand of oil. Amsoil makes a really good filter.
August 3, 201014 yr I used to run ONLY Fleetguard LF3894 Stratapore filters but after doing a bit of reading and price comparison, I found that Baldwins makes EVERYBIT as good if not a better filter in my opinion for less than half the price. I use ALL Baldwin filters on my trucks with the exception of the Air Dog 150 filters and apparently Fleetguard is the only manufacturer I am aware of for these. A Fleetguard LF 3894 crosses over to a Baldwin BT7349: http://catalog.baldwinfilter.com/PartImages/BT7349.jpg If you purchase these filters by the case of 12 through BF Web Express, the cost is $4.79 each. http://www.bfwebexpress.com/default.htm
