My Silverado with the 4.8 holds a lot of oil above the filter also. I have used the punch trick and it works. On my Cummins not having an ADBV, the filter will only be about half full and has a pretty good amount of oil that comes out of the oil pan after cracking the filter loose.

I think I would do another early OC with that much debris on the first change.

2008 Silverado WT 4.8L 165,973 miles on truck 4400 this change. Out: QS Euro 5-40 OG FU 10575 In: Mobil Delvac ESP 5-40 OG FU 10575 (last one) I used the Mobil oil because I have a pretty good stash of it and it’s SN rated.

Yeah. Ok.

Just gave my son 9 OG XG2’s that I had stashed back. He has a 19’ Charger with the 6.4.

I still have some of the Afinity era filters.

It is. It’s a plastic one but it’s the type. The oil level is just below the plug. With it being synthetic, not cellulose and made by Donaldson, I figured it would be ok but I wanted to check first with others with more knowledge. I wasn’t wild about the idea of having to throw it away.

It’s been in my shop in an old milk crate I converted to keep the filters upright while pre-filling them. My shop is temperature and humidity controlled, not like my house, but to keep the tools I have from rusting from condensation and temperature swings.

It has a filter plug in it that fully seals the filter and the plug has been in it since it was filled. I have to use the plug to install it on my truck without getting oil all over everything.

I figured it would be ok but I wasn’t sure how long it would be ok being saturated with oil. It’s a full synthetic filter so I didn’t know if it would deteriorate any or not. Thanks

I have a question for more experienced BITOGers. I have a DBL7349 that has had oil in it for about 6 months with a filter plug screwed on since it was filled. I changed my mind about installing it last OC and installed a different filter. Do any of you think the filter is ok to use with it...

Yeah. I don’t know if I could even find one now.

I drove several 60’s era VW’s that only had a screen wire basket around the pickup tube and no other oil filter. They didn’t last very long but neither did the other engines running filters back during that time.

That filter size looks appropriate for a 4 cylinder engine but I have some doubts running one that size on a 6.4 L Hemi in a 2500 towing. 🤷

I got it for $23/gallon on the first order signing up for the messaging. Tax and shipping insurance included. Thanks for the info.

I like the “sprang” myself. Lol

How many miles/hours ?

I think the 5-40 is the best of both worlds, north, south, hot or cold. Wish I could run 15-40 even if it had to be synthetic. Truck does more hard work and towing during the summer months in areas where it’s 100+ degrees on a regular basis. Still, it’s doing good on the 5-40 and maybe that...

What does all of this rant have to do with diesel motor oil ? Sounds like the whole thread is off topic.ie political
