Hey guys,
I see where a lot of guys buy their oil filters from Geno's, is that the best place to buy if I order a dozen?

If so, what's the difference between the standard Fleetguard for $8.95, and the Stratapore for $12.95? Filtration obviously, but is it worth it?

My dad and I both have 3rd gen 5.9s. We are just trying to save a buck by splitting a dozen, but the difference b/n the two filters is another 50 bucks.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

I buy mine direct from my dealer, no shipping and they are less then 8 bucks with tax.

 

Personally, I don't use anything but Stratapore. I think Cummins specifies them over the standard on the 3rd gens.

Anyway, I usually also order from Geno's.

 

BTW, I just called the dealer (Chevy) who honors my "lifetime oil change"(I provide the filter) deal, because since buying my truck they lost their Dodge dealership. He quoted me $6.50 per filter for 12. However, it's a Delco.

The "new" actual Dodge dealer in town sells the Mopar filter, but he wants $16.75 for one and ONLY $14.24 apiece for 12!

How does the Delco rate?

 

Check WalMart for Mopar filters. The local place by my parents started carrying them and they were $8-$10

 

might try the Baldwin brand also. I buy them online here:

Also have used Dodge from the local Walmart and Cummins from their local shop.

 

Also see if there is a Cummins parts house in your area.

 

The stratapore is overall a better filter. That is all I use and I order them from Geno's. I tried local places but they all want the same or more for each one so I just order them and they show up at my door. I also get my fuel filters from Geno's.

I have used the MO-285 Mopar filter bought at O'Rileys for about $10 when I forgot to order my fleetgaurds

Ken's Performance Solutions shipping over $75.00 is free on Fleetguard.

 

www.apartsdepot.com Order four Donaldson ELF7349 oil filters and two Baldwin PF7977 fuel filters. Cost would be around $84 shipped and you will get the best filters for your truck.

 

Im with Navy Baldwin fuel filter and Donaldson oil filters, best of both worlds.

 

Filterbarn.com has the Fleetguard LF16035 Stratapore filters for $9.30.
