difference between extended life and regular oil filters
I am looking to place my truck into commercial service, and noticed that some of the oil filter companies offer a regular and extended life oil filter. Can anyone tell me what the difference is? Thanks

Many of us use Fleetguard (now cummins filtration) Stratopore. It's better filtration, to a smaller particulate level.

I've been using them since the 1st oil change.

How often do you plan on changing your oil?

There is increased filter media and better filtering capabilities. Donaldson ELF7349 is the best filter you can run.
