??? Will the oil filter for my 96 fit my 03 ???

 

since the oil chng interval has risen acrding to dc,,,,,,the media is improved [perhaps synthetic, as in statapore]to last longer mileage. im kinda curious if theyd still fit. be ok as i refuse to go 15k b4 chngin. 4k for me. has anyone tried to see if theyd thread on

 

:'( Mine is a Cal. model and the owners manual states the service remains the same as previous year. ??? :'(

 

if ya still got some fltrs for the 96 see if itll thread on. thenlet us know. if ya chnge every 3k i wldnt worry

 

the new 03 Cummins has a different oil filter. My truck has been at the dealer for 4 days waiting on a filter... it is a completely different part and part #...

 

Wick, <br><br>I went to the local Cummins Power Store to pick up a fuel filter and oil filter for my '03. They gave me the same Stratapore oil filter that is sold for the '02's.<br><br>I haven't used it yet, but I am hazarding a guess that it will.<br><br>Couldn't hurt to ask the dealer to spin an &quot;'02&quot; version of the oil filter on for giggles. Other than the external packaging, I'm sure the internals are probably the same.

 

The 02 filters will work on the 03 but they will be a lot harder to get off.As said before the 03 are fluted on the bottom so they are a lot easier to change from the bottom.I think you can put the 03 filter on a 02.

 

;D Go point. Thanks for the info. ;D

 

Genos Garage has all the right size Fleetguards for 2003 you want to buy :-)<br><br>Ordered up 3 and viola, in a few days with like $4.95 shipping they arrived<br><br>Hunter

 

are the fleetguardfilters for the 03 much more $. the dodge ******* charges a bunch more,,,but i am figgerin cuz the 03 fltr is a stratapore equivilant

and what is the fleetguard filtr number

 

Even if the oil filter from the 96 fits on the 03, I would not do it. The 24 valve motors develope higher oil pressures than 12 valvers. The filter may burst.<br>John

 

i used the same fletguard fltr for my 89, 98.5, and 02. was told they were beefed up for the 24v. do they still have the 12v only fltr

Not at my home place so can't tell you how much the filters are or the #'s<br><br>Search Genos, they can fill you in<br><br>Hunter
