FleetGuard on my Cummins and Mahle for my Chevy Silverado.

I believe the P551018 has the same specs as the DBL7349. It’s supposedly the same Synteq material as the DBL filter. I debated using the DBL on my 22 model but the FleetGuard won the toss.

2022 Ram 2500 6.7 11,121 miles and 290 hours total on truck Out: R T6 5-40 and Baldwin BT7349 filter 123 hrs and 4843 miles In: VPBE 5-40 and Fleetguard LF 16035 filter Previous oil and filter have been in the truck since September of last year and I’m planning on doing quite a bit of traveling...

Walmart has it for $21.36 on the shelf. NAPA also has Valvoline Premium Blue Extreme 5-40 for $24.99 per gallon.

I would be interested to see what it looks like but I would have to order it online. Atwoods carries Rural King oils but no 5-40. Maybe they could order it. IDK

Well the Rotella T6 10W-30 is available on the shelf at my local Walmart. $23.52 online and $26.32 in the store. If it’s bought online it can be picked up at the store for the $23.52. Still never heard anything back from Shell. It also has the Ford F1 spec listed on the back of the jug.

3 quarts in 17,000 miles is nothing even if it had been run unloaded for the entire time. Being deleted it could burn a lot more and not have any effect as long as it is added when needed. Outstanding UOA. I would have changed the filter also.

I worked for 3 different freight companies for 30+ years total and we couldn’t even pick up anything used (transmission, differentials or engines) that had fluids in them. It was simply not allowed. We also hauled some class 8 engines of different manufacturers bolted to stands for shipping and...

I ran the OG XG2 ultra on the 6.4 in my 2500. The last time I looked Fram hadn’t changed the XG2’s to the new media type but I haven’t looked in atleast a year.

Scat Pack usually uses a MO899 and the 6.4 Hemis in the 2500 trucks use a MO339 which is the size of the small filter you have pictured. Lots of vehicles use the PF 48, XG 10060 sized filter. Your car will be fine. My son runs the MO-899 on his 19’ model SP.

Nope. Blame the Czar we have in charge and the stupid people who think putting tax hikes on corporations is mystically going to be paid out of the corporations pockets. The increases are paid by the consumer. The corporations move their businesses where it is cheaper for them to operate. And...

Looks like a PG to me at this distance.

Still nothing from Shell. I guess it was too hard of a question.

Probably not a lot of people looking at the specs for a 10-30 hdeo and comparing it to something else. The guy I talked with first said the 10-30 and 15-40 showed almost the same thing. I told him yes exactly the same and that’s when he told me he would have to get back to me.

UPDATE: Well my email to Shell was unproductive. Seems I emailed the complaint and feedback department. I asked if they could forward the email to the appropriate department and no response. They did give me an 800 number that I called this morning and they basically mirrored what we have seen...

I’m not going to be using 10-30 either. I was curious about the 10-30 because of the viscosity specs they had in the pds for it.

Email sent. Waiting for reply and will post it when it arrives.

I will. Thank you for the contact information.

How do you know which publications to believe and which ones to dismiss?

Better is subjective. I haven’t run any of it so far but I’m going to try it. Some swear by it and some swear at it. The VPBE has a little lower Noack and a little higher HTHS but probably not enough difference of either one to be noticeable.
