oil filter

I just purchased a new-to-me 1997 Dodge diesel 3500 4x4 with manual transmission. I need to change the oil and need advice on using after-market filters. Sue

Re:oil filter

Be sure and only use Cummins approved filters such as Fleetguard, there are a few others listed somewhere in the tech facts I believe.

Re:oil filter

Or go to Napa and get their gold series filter. It's as good as any.

Re:oil filter

The fleetguard stratapore the 24 valvers use would be best. I would only use a fleetguard, fleetrite, or baldwin myself. Whatever you do DO NOT use a fram.<br><br>Paul
