Oil filter cross reference to Fram or ANYTHING?

[jimg]

I see...so its only a matter of media quality rather than some odd design 'feature' that doesnt allow enough oil flow etc.? I would think then any good name brand (WIX, Purolator etc) would work OK as long as it X refs to the OEM filter.

The most expensive single filter on my 7610s is the hyd filter... it is the size of a gallon paint can... and doesn't cross to anything napa can get.

Also, just a buck under that is my 'outter' air filter. It also does not cross to anything napa / carquest can get. The 'inner' filter does cross to a napa gold number.. however, the napa gold filter is only about 1.99$ less than the NH filter. Interestingly enough, I found out NH used 3 different filter canisters ont he air intake ont he 7610s.. 2 plastic of different sizes, and 1 metal. And they take different filters.. go figure. I'm guessing that one of the other filter canisters may have better matching with local suppliers..e tc.

I don't think that certian brands are "bad" per say, but they do have some good quality products and some cheap products. If its more convientant use whatever brand you want, but if given the choice I'd aways pick somthing thats a bit better quaity and a few dollars more since its protecting an invetent costing several thound times as much.

This maybe an extreme example as its put together by fleetguard - but it makes the point. A cheaper filter maybe cheap for a reason.

One of the best filters made is the Baldwin filters. They are used by many truck fleets and construction companies. We use them on our semi trucks and have almost 2 million miles on a few of them without an engine overhaul. Before I started driving a new Volvo, I had close to 1.5 million on the freightliner I was in. Baldwin makes filters for the NH equipment also. Check out

www.baldwinfilter.com

You can look up filters for just about any piece of equipment made. You will probably have to use the dealer locate to get them.

Cheapest....NO Best Quality....YES

I've got 4 NAPA Gold 1515 filters and I have no idea what car, truck, or tractor they are supposed to go on.

If you try this link Honeywell Consumer Products Group - Competitor Look-up it will take you to FRAM and if you type in 1515 under competetor it will tell you what cars/trucks ect this will fit on

If you key any part number into oreillyauto.com and you don't get the right results you get an option to interchange.

I have been using the Ford Motorcraft FL-300 on first my 1720 and now my TC40D since 1988. It has the same specs, threads, anti-drain valve and seal diameter and uses a slightly bigger can and filter media, but with the same or slightly better ratings. Price is always less than 5 bucks.

Heheheheheh, never heard it called that!!! Good one. Good information though so that's a plus!!!

I go O'Reilley's and they can always cross me to something they carry. I only refuse Fram, no flame intended, just really, really bad experiences.

at walmart, for instance.. looking up the oil filter for my 2000 gmc yukon.. they have fram, purolator and acdelco oem filters in stock.

fram is the most expensive ( toughguard ).. next is purolator ( stp? ) and the cheapest is actually the acdelco filter.

go figure..
