Ok, good. I don't believe there is any functional difference if the stem rotates or not. Most of the filters for my Pentastar that I have used were the rotating sort.

Sparky, are you saying that the Mobil and Mopar filters do not have the stem? Or are you saying that they do have the stem, but it does not rotate? If I remember correctly, the earlier Pentastars use a filter that does not have a stem. DO NOT USE those filters on a later Pentastar. They will...

No, your procedure is correct. Snap the filter in the cap and then thread the whole thing onto the housing. While I haven't change it on the same vehicle as yours, ALL the vehicles I've worked on from VW to Mercedes to Toyota has been the same.

Since we are sharing anecdotes, here is mine. My only vehicle that I bought new was a 2004 Freightliner (Mercedes) Sprinter. I did the first oil change at 10k miles, then I believe over the next few changes I increased the interval little by little with every oil change (based on oil analyses)...

Rock catcher? I hope you are not serious. With 99% at 17 microns this is one of the best filters out there.

Thanks Adam. The nitrile ADBV does not bother me at all. I probably will use some of these after my stash of OG Ultra 3600 runs out. I believe I have 3 left. I wish Donaldson would make a filter in the 3600 size with the same efficiency like this one (I believe 99% at 17 microns). That would...

Sure it does. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/donaldson-p551132-cut-open-new.378266/

My take on it is that either the specs are listed wrong or they are not the same filters, just that they are made by the same company.

Don't think it has anything to do with diesel. More likely it has something to do with Cummins.. The DD13 in my Freoghtliner truck (13 liter Detroit Diesel engine) has a huge, and I mean huge, cartridge oil filter that you can't prefill. And no problem with them whatsoever. The only warning they...

All of them will work just fine. However, my pick would be Supertech ST10358. Very good construction, wire backed media, made in USA and the kicker, only $3. Stock up until it changes because I bet it won't last long.

Donaldson P551132 is a very good filter from what I can see. It is a 3614 size, 99% at 17 microns, wire backed, made in Mexico and can be bought for less then $10 some places. I'll try a couple of these when I deplete my stash of 3614 filters. Can't see really good in the video, but a potential...

Go to Walmart and get the Supertech 11665, last time I looked they were made in the USA and they looked really good. And only like 3 bucks or so.

Toss a coin and find out which one to use first, then keep the other one for the next oil change.

Late to the party, but here it goes. I don't see much difference between the 2 systems, if the cartridge is designed properly. The cartridge takes the lead in cleanliness compared to a spin on. I've had German vehicles with cartridge filters for more than 1 million miles and no problem with...

I wouldn't knowingly instal a ripped or leaky oil filter, but if I find one after use I will not loose any sleep over it.

Yeah, great valves. I have one on every vehicle I own. The oldest one I believe is over than 15 years old and no issues whatsoever. I bought the first one to be able to do oil changes on the road without making a mess. I would put an empty jug underneath the valve, open it up, and not even a...

In this case they are passing it along, in many others they aren't.

Soooo, the little guy like me can't take a rebate on an electric car that is not built here, but the big guys can under the pretext of being 'commercial.' So fair. I hope all these gimmics will go away soon.

Gary, nothing wrong with that if you can afford it. I knew someone that changed cars almost like underwear even though he couldn't afford it. He was up to his eyeballs in debt, bankruptcies, blah blah. But he always found a reason to justify it... I'm totally different. I only bought one brand...

I'd use it.
