Oil Filter

Posted

I really didn't want to beat a dead horse here. I have been running Amsoil Oil filters eao80's on both my 05 and 01 and both trucks when you change the filter they are about 1 to 11/2 inches from the top. Almost everyone I talk to says there's runs over when they unscrew filter. Mine have never ran over and when I start the 01 you can here the difference until it pumps up.
I just ordered two Donaldson elf7349 to see what happens with those. Can anyone share there experience.

One thing I would suggest maybe is making sure the new filter is full with fresh oil before spinning it on. Unless you do it already of course. I used to use baldwin filters and it was pretty close to the top if not spilling just a little bit.

It all depends on how fast you change it. If I change right away I get spillage, if I want 60-90 minutes I don't.

 

It's normal for a Cummins to drain back a little, they don't have an anti-siphon in the filter.

 

The Donaldson ELF7349 and Amsoil EaO80 are the same filter, different label. I use the Donaldson as it's cheaper, espeiclaly from www.filterspro.com

    When I change its right away, with in 10 min. or so. And leave it to me to if the same oil filter.

    I don't think it's anything to worry about. Enjoy that you have a no mess change.
