Archived oil filter

[Mike C]

just drained and removed oil filter and went to put on new filter and dont have one . can i use one off of a 12 valve on my 24 valve temp. i looked on genos site and it dont look like you could but i figured i would ask the pros to be sure.

the filter i got is lf3349. i called fleetgaurd and they said that it would work but i am still not sure. thanks for any input

I would make a quick run to the Dodge dealer or Napa. Would hate to toast the motor and warranty due to a $10 filter

i wish i could but everything is closed up now on the eastern side of the states. i just got putting it on and everything seems ok but you never know. i can get a new one tomorrow at work but i got to be able to get there first . so the worst case is it will be on there for seventy miles until it gets changed.

Use the old one

Why not put the old one on if youir not sure

My experience says that you can... but that ain't worth much. I use Wix filters on all my trucks and equipment (No bashing please). I use Wix #51607 on my '92 and on my '99. The wix book calls for 51607 on both models, so I suspect that you will be fine. JMO.

I am not a filter expert but from what I was told the 24 valve filters are basically the same as the 12v filter except that the newer filter has a heavier base and a thicker housing to help hold up to more extremes. They will fit but it is up to you.
