Where to get Oil Filter
Where can I get a Fleetguard filter? I rather not get ripped off by the Dodge dealer. I am in the Sterling VA area & would need to change my oil this week!
Also, what is the part number for this filter?

When buying the filters from Cummins be sure to get the fluted type, at least if you use one of the end cap filter wrenches. As I was installing one of mine I noticed that wasn't fluted, sighed, and then finished tightening it.

OK, I'm not trying to argue here, but to say that any other filter than a Fleetguard is not an approved filter? I did a quick search on Fram and Wix sites and they both have a cross reference filter.
I am sure truckers will buy a filter wherever they are when the time comes, and not worry if it's not a Fleetguard.
In the heavy equipment world, not many companies buy Cat filters all the time for their equipment.
I can see the need to be careful in the grade/weight of oil used to maintain a warranty. But a specific filter is something I've never seen in print.
Am I completely wrong?

NEVER use a FRAM filter on a Cummins engine. If the engine fails while running a FRAM filter, your warranty will almost always be voided because they are not approved filters.
