I really don't see why anyone should not be using a Fleetguard #LF3894......the best filter for a very reasonable price.

filters are filters are filters, now if you want a quality oil filter that will not have any thing to fall off and plug your cooling nozzles you do not want just a filter you want a fleetguard

It should be mentioned that the 3894 is the Stratapore # for our CTD's......DC does not offer a Stratapore filter so, I wouldn't bother with them either.

You mean you don't prefer to pay $17.90 USD for a inferior filter?

I was openly disgusted and dismayed at the dealer when I priced the oil and fuel filters. I got 2 oils and 2 fuels at genos for about $50.50 vs. one of each at the dealer for $62.40?????

No need to check back at the dealer, Genos all the way.

Yep, the Mopar version is a re-badged Fleetguard. Don't know if Cummins owns Fleetguard.

Cummins does own Fleetguard, it's one of their most profitable divisions
