There are so many different opinions from everyone here. Not saying any of them are wrong or right. The only oil filter I would most tell you to stay away from is Fram oil filters. Other than that grab a good cup of tea and do some searchs and read away at everyones thoughts.

I use Wix filters and Rotella-T dino oil changed every 5K. Most of the guys on here stick with Fleetguard filters (Cummins), but I've used Wix exclusively with all of my vehicles and had no problems.

I still haven't heard one good excuse on why you shouldn't be using a Fleetguard 3894 oil filter.....oil is another story....there are many high quality oils on the market these days for our CTD's that have great additive packages and meet and/or exceed Cummins specifications. I use Shell Rotella T.

Cheapest place around for Fleetguard oil and fuel filters. Reasonable shipping too.
I use Rotella T also.
