I rember people asking about Doc's Diesel. This is a D5335 off a '22 Ram 2500 6.7l Cummins. This thing doesn't look very great to me. I barely pulled on it and the media tore and end cap fell off. It's very brittle. Just a little squeeze and the it starts tearing. It is also very light weight and flimsy feeing. Made in China. I'd spend my money elsewhere.

Wow! What oil and filter went back in and on? Next time use Donaldson

From what I've seen on some diesel forums, the general consensus is it's just a white box Chinese filter with some branding on it. Since Donaldson and Baldwin aren't very expensive, I don't see the point cheaping out on the oil filter for a $10-15k engine.

I think he got some sort of package with the fuel filters and cabin as well. He wasn't very impressed either.

Looks like a private labeling operation through Alibaba business model. Stuff there looks too good to be true. Their testing of filters are using outdated SAE single pass efficiency, not multi pass efficiency testing that is more accepted standard in the filtration market. Lots of red flags. But very nice marketing and website design.
 
@Johnny248 you otta think about a Fleetguard filter. They are the OEM for Cummins and extremely well built. They have different level offerings to appease your desire.

Just my $0.02

It's not my truck. It is one of my tech's. I don't know where to find Fleetguard locally, but I will pass it on to him.

You can find them online at Geno's or other online retailers. I find them at the local Peterbilt dealer. Most truck dealers will have them. The Mopar version is also made by Fleetguard and found at Walmart and other auto parts stores.

Just my $0.02
