Fleetguard Venturi Combo Filters??

[tjbeggs]

New here but have a filter question. I have a 1997 Ford f-350 7.3 Powerstroke diesel with 225,000 miles on it. I just switched to Rotella 5W40 synethetic and the Fleetguard LF9027 Venturi Combo filters. these have the stratapore full flow media and a stacked disc bypass filter section in the bottom of the filter.

I am looking for atleast 10k OCI. Anybody have any feedback on these filters? I plan on UOA every 5k till I get a track record going but I am wondering if these filter seem to be good and what change intervals with the oil and filters?

thanks
Tim

You should be fine at 10K with that filter. 7-10K oil changes are normal in medium duty trucks running the same engine. Fleetguard (Cummins) makes a very good filter and is all I have used for years on everything except Cat's. Caterpillar's get Cat filters.
