Oil filter interchangability?

[NDaniels]

I see that the fleetguard oil filter for 3rd gen is useable for all years, so can I use the filter for 2nd gen 24v on my 05? Is the only difference the ability to use the socket on the end?



I'm sure that its been asked, but I couldn't find it . Thanks, Nick.

You are correct.

I know for fact that the 24Valve filter is rated for a higher pressure than the 12 Valve filter, due to higher oil pressure spikes during cold operation... . This give you a backwards compatability, but not forwards. The older filters will install on the newer engines, but they may not be able to hold the pressure under extreme conditions... ... I would be cautious in trying this. It is very likely it will be fine, but not gauranteed... . P.

Well that would suck- The reason i'm asking is that I have a couple of filters lying around for my 98. 5 and my 05 will have to be serviced soon. Also, the filters for the 98. 5 are a dollar cheaper per filter . Who- ME- cheap, nahh:-laf. Thank you for the responses, Nick.

I believe the newest filters use a Stratopore media. The earlier ones were either a Microglass or standard cellulose media.



I believe the Stratopore filters better than the others.

I only use stratapore on both trucks. Thanks.

I've always used WIX filters in all my gassers-not doing it right for my CTD-anyone???

 

[NDaniels]

I don't know about that, but the fleetguard stratapore is highly recommended for our trucks by others. Its the only filter I'll ever put on mine.

Oh yeah, on topic- I stick with the Stratapore myself. As far as I know that's been in production for years, used them before on my 2000 model.

A while back I did get a wrong filter at the Cummins dealer. His parts list for Dodge was not up to date, so he gave me one for an earlier model, but when I went to install it the threads were too small.
