I'm going to put a fleetguard filter in if it starts plugging again. Just to see if there's a difference

Has the maintenance free CCV filter installed. Did take the cover off a few weeks ago and is clean inside. Yeah I tried the Lucas and have not put it back in after the oil change.

As far as a HPL equivalent....would running Amsoil 15w40 signature diesel oil be worth trying to clean the engine. It's coming on winter here in Saskatchewan so I don't want to get into anything too thick. I called an actual Cummins shop here about Restore awhile ago and they didn't even know...

Both are good

The pressure was dropping. I was at about 31-32 psi at highway speed...oil temp was 215. Idle was dipping under 20. Put in new filter and was back up to 38 at highway and 22 at idle. So I assume the filter was the issue.

Filter cut open...no grit or anything No EGR anymore

Here are the two OA from that time.

No coolant loss. Oil cap and inside manifold filter housing is clean. There is some blow by puffing when you take cap off while it's running. History: Truck emissions were intact when I got it and had had engine work done (top end). The engine did get some dust for about 3000 miles right after I...

I have an ISX15 2350 engine in my Peterbilt. It burns about a gallon of oil per 2000miles. It's done it for awhile...but runs good. Anyway, I had the bright idea to change oil this summer and filled it with Rotella 15w40 and a gallon of Lucas. Seemed to help a little but still had to add oil...

Recently, I bought a case of Schaeffer 229 grease for use in my semi trucks. Initially I was looking at the 238 grease but the rep recommended 229. I'm hoping to use it for everything if possible. Kingpins, u-joints, clutch etc. Just wondering if the 229 will work for ok for those things? I was...
