Amsoil EAO80 vs. Fleetguard Stratapore....

[HEMI®Dart]

Which do you guys think is the better filter? Is the new Amsoil one worth the extra money?

 

[Duluth Diesel]

In our particular application, the EaO80 and the Donaldson Endurance Nanofiber oil filter (ELF 7349) are identical. The EaO80 is a ELF7349 with different label, otherwise identical and made by Donaldson for AMSOIL.



Personally I feel the Donaldson Endurance Nanofiber filters are a little better filtering and flowing than the Fleetguard Stratopore, but both are top end filters and I would be fine with either on my truck.

Thanks Duluth Diesel. I did not know that they are the same filter, just re-badged.

They are both a great choice for filters. I personally like the Amsoil I think it is a litle better.

Not sure how important this is...

I ran the Donaldson Endurance a few years ago. The thing I noticed about it is the return holes were not as big as the Fleetguard's, or there may not have been as many. I dunno.
