In this truck the filter sits sideways (horizontal).


I picked up 5L of Rotella T 15W40 and a Fram Ultra Filter and will try it this weekend. Is the Fram Ultra filter ok?


Why 15W40?

So i decided to change the oil first (Rotella 15W40) and leave the old filter on. It actually had a Fram Toughguard Filter (orange can) installed. The tick is still there right after startup. Im going to change the filter to the Fram Ultra and report back again...--thanks
