Oil filter suggetions.

[dave1251]

Hello I am going to do my first oil change on my truck. Its a 2006 Ram QC with the 5.7 HEMI. This is my first non GM truck and I am open to oil filter suggestions.

Thanks
Dave

I'd probably go with a Wix or Motorcraft. JMO Congrats on your nice new truck!

Thanks for the Congrats and the suggestion.

Just my opinion. I would go with mopar until warranty ends, then switch to an e-core thereafter.

I've been pleased with the Baldwin filters that I use on nearly everything. I like the convenience of ordering them on the Internet as well.

 

[wavinwayne]

I'd go with a Purolator Pure One, or an Amsoil EAO, just to be different. Truth be told, anything on the market these days will filter fine, even Fram.

I'd just use the Wix or Purolater filters. No need for 'warranty' fear or dealer markups.

And, if you have the room, consider the bigger quart sized filter.

michaelc80, where do you get Baldwin filters online?
The B7311 I want is $20 delivered which is too expensive.

yep

Purolator Pure One gets my vote too. Readily available at Pep Boys.

Now then Dave, what oil are you using? Just curious cause I don't think anyone here will have an opinion!

BTW Nice truck.

I think Wix is a good buy for around $5, and it's a well made filter.

I think the high survival rate of engines with Frams proves that their is no good reason not to use one of the cheap house brands, ST, Value Craft, Total Grip, Power Flo. Plenty of good deals on Purolator too. If you must have a good name, does Delco make a filter for your Mopar?

Try us out for Wix/NG filters.

I use the Purolator Pure One in my Hemi Jeep.

 

[dave1251]

another Todd Pennzoil 5W-20. Because the MDS system wont work with another viscosity!?!?

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

[dave1251]

Thanks for the reply's I am going to try a NAPA Gold filter.

 

[Kestas]

Check the prices of a Wix filter from our sponsor, fleetfilter.com. They're the exact same thing as NAPA Gold. Order a few, and even with shipping it'll probably be cheaper.

I think that is interesting that the MDS will not work with another viscosity. I wonder if it would work with REdline's 5W20 since it has such a high HTHS? Or would this make a difference?

 

[Gary Allan]

Well, if the MDS system won't work with another viscosity ...it can't work with 5w-20 all the time. For a good many miles, 5w-20 is a 30 ..and even a 40 weight if it's cold enough. Most of your 20 weights are not that far inside the 20 weight theshhold ..so there has to be some latitude there.

Naturally, I'd still use 5w-20 in that engine.

 

[dave1251]

No there is even a TSB from DC only to use 5W-20.
