My best local options (Advance Auto, O'Reilly's) for price are:
and that they can come apart & plug up screen / pump;
BUT, the guy at Advance Auto says that for tractors, everyone always buys Fram.
He didn't know why.
I've also read that some filters have too fine a filter size and are thus too restrictive to flow.
So of above options, what is the best for a diesel engine with diesel oil?
Any different from that for gas engine?
Purolator has a good reputation and I looked inside the Purolator Classic with a bright led light.
It looks like it has a good spring loaded anti back-flow valve (spot welded in place)
and the filter element is embedded in some kind of thick black sealant.
For oil, I'll be using the 15w-40 Valvoline Premium Blue Heavy Duty Diesel oil.
And ideas for rinsing out the oil pan (through the drain plug)?
Thanks
