I love donaldson filters but has anyone used one of their endurance or endurance plus filters in a gasser? The endurance plus actually contain an additive ala fram high mileage, Calcium sulfonate (thickener/extreme pressure additive in grease?) mainly with some Diphenylamine (seal conditioner?). They are guaranteed for 60,000 miles but are not bypass filters I don't think. Pretty neat stuff expensive though.
 
I'd love to but I can't find them anywhere. I know there is someone on here who uses them in a FL1A style filter, which would be exactly what I need, however I think that he had to buy a case of them.
 
I use the P169071 synthetic media filters in my land rover. The endurance filters are a lot more money and I can't seem to find a cross reference for a 3/4"-16 filter.

That was me

I'm almost through that case actually. Will need to get another soon.

That was the P169071 filter. Excellent filter.
 
That (P169071) is not an endurance filter though. I guess a $60 filter that lasts 60k miles in a gas engine makes little sense.
 
True, it's not labeled under the Endurance trademark, but it is the SYNTEQ version of a gasoline filter. There are only 2 that I'm aware of. There could be more

Yeah I have the donaldson P169071 on the discovery now, think that is pretty much the best I am going to find for it especially for the $12.

Correct. Though as Gary said, it's the closest Donaldson product for a gas engine. It has the filter media, just not the "magic additive" technology. Which is fine by me.
 
the endurance plus have the magic additive the regular endurance filters don't. I'm not sure what differentiates an endurance filter from a regular donaldson "P" filter with synthetic media. I always figured they had a built in bypass filter but I don't think that is the case. They range in price up to $100 (ELF7900) so maybe it is just a size thing.
 
Looking inside does it look like it has standpipe? I ask because the website shows it as a Perkins (among other) applications. Many Perkins apps seem to require a standpipe.

Thanks.

You're right. The brochure states that there's a "controlled chemical release process". I wasn't aware of this ..but I really had no cause to research it.
