first oil change

For my first oil change, I used Delo 400, and a Hastings filter. Is Hastings a good one to use? They're good for gasssers, but haven't heard the TDR opinion. Didn't see anybody mention them, the parts place tried to sell me a Fram instead of a Wix - said they were out of Wix and couldn't order more until they sold the Frams - I said thanks, but no thanks - I'd heard too much about the fram - he seemed to understand.

From what I understand Hastings is a quality filter. I remember reading a thread a while back where there were quite a few members running Hastings.

Does anyone have experience using the FS 19519 fuel filter with the PrimeLock fuel filter relocation kit on '94 - '98 trucks? Does it fit; does it remove the giant PITA factor of trying to get the 19519 squeezed into the stock location at the expense of the skin on your knucles and arms?

Fleet Gaurd Microglass and Valvoline Premium Blue.

I have seen the Prime Loc kits, they are great, the filter will be right up by the master cylinder. Simple to change and it has ports for a filter minder.

Valvoline premium blue and usually a Fleetguard filter, but last time I tried a wix.

Fleetguard and Penzoil 15W-40.

 

[Jumbo Jet]

Fleetguard - Shell Rotella T 15w40.

 

[John Berger]

Amsoil SDF-80 filter and Amsoil 15W-40 synthetic.

I use Amsoil 15W40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine oil in my engine along with the SDF80 (Super Duty Filter) oil filter.

I have used WIX filters and Rotella 15-40 after I read the report on Fram filters. TDR has been a great help in providing information on all types of oil and filters.

I didn't realize until today that the LF3935 is a 24v oil filter. That's just what the dealer has been giving me. I totaled up all of the responses and it looks like the LF3894 is by far the most popular with the Mopar/other Fleetguards in 2nd. I am suprised that so few people run the Premium Blue/PB 2000.



I'm due for another oil change and I think I'll switch over to the LF3894 (assuming there is no problem running this in an old 12v) and Delo (can't afford Amsoil right now).

 

[Okie-Go]

I use Rotella T oil. I ordered the filter from Geno today. 2 oil and one for the fuel.

 

[Bob Cochran]

Dello 400 15W-40 and Fleetguard LF3894 change every about 3,750 woth curently almost 17. 000 on truck moslty freeway and a little towing.

Carquest (Wix) and 15w40 Rotella T

Mystic and Hastings

Used to run John Deere 15w-40. Switched to Mystic JT-8 15w-40 which i think is better, but haven't seen anyone running this.



I have always ran Hastings Filters which I have only saw one person post that they are running a Hastings.



Should I worry about either of these?

I used Delo 400 15W-40 and MoPar filters in my '96. I racked up 145,000 on it before I sold it and bought a '01 HO 6 speed. I changed oil at 150 miles and started the HO on Delo 400 15W-40 and Fleetguard LF3894. Due for a change right now with 3,700 on it.

 

[JTBMC]

I have been using Rotella T 15-40 and a Mobil 1 oil filter 70,000 miles w/changes at 5000 miles and have only seen 1 other person using them, and sense my last change Ive noticed a change in quailty. The gasket is thinner and drain holes are smaller and they are now painted GREY rather than WHITE.

Think I'll change over to the FS 3894 too. I would also like to change over to Amsoil
