Fleetguard LF 3894
Is the Fleetguard LF 3894 Stratapore too restrictive for 15w40 dino oil? Years ago when thats all I used on my '02 7.3, friends said you can't use a Stratapore for conventional oil just synthetic oil.

Same thing here, except I use the LF16035. Just a bit better filtration than the 3894.

Thanks Guys, I knew that was BS! I always had great filtration reports from Blackstone using the Stratapore with Rotella 15w40 on the 7.3!

From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
It would be difficult to build and sell a filter and only make it avaliable with certain oils. DUH!
