Donaldson P169071 on my 2004 Rubi. 30 years owning two CJ?s and six TJ's.more than 300k miles between all, most of them on Fleetguard LF3487 and Donaldsons. Absolutely great engine.

$6 Dlls., man! here a P 169071 costs me near $20-22 Dlls. and it is a 1 hour drive.

I've owned seven I-6 Jeeps 258's and 4.0 L's for 25 years now, have a '04 Rubicon and I would't use anything that is not ACEA A-3 5W-40 in it, as lot of other Rubicon owners. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to buy two of these (B2-HPG). Do you have any pics of the tear down by any chance?.

Petty, have you ever disassamble a B2-HPG for you 4.0 L Cherokee?

So Gary, would you say that B2-HPG is the equivalent of the Donaldson P169071?. I would really like to know since the B2-HPG costs about $7.00 Dlls. less than Donaldson. ($18.46 vs. $11.50)

You could also use the Donaldson P169071 (synth. media, very expensive), Fleetguard LF 3487 (also synth.element), Baldwin B2-HPG, Amsoil Ea 015 ($$$$), and do two oil changes per one filter.

So the Fleetguard is a Donaldson or vice versa?, anyways I bought the P169071 for $18.50 Dlls. Should I go 2 years and around 5K miles with PP 5W-40 and this filter or am I stretching it to much?

Hey, thanks guys;These guys must be nuts to sell the LF3487 at the price of a PH-8A, I'm going to buy all I can get my hands on. As for the Donaldson, well maybe I'll buy just one at $21.20 Dlls., net price. Johnny; no there are no M1's here, only K&N at $20+ Dlls. Thanks again guys.

Does anybody know what´s the difference between Fleetguard LF3487 and Donaldson P169071. I'm confused. The LF3487 costs $5.50 Dlls., while the P169071 costs around $24 Dlls. ?????? Aren't they suppose to be the same?.Which one would you use for 1 year OCI, with Mobil 1 5W-50 EP? Could I go 2...

You are right Johnny, I have two Ea's 042 and 015 for my Jeep and to my surprise both say "Made in Mexico", which makes sense since Donaldson has a huge factory in Monterrey. The sad part, is that I can hardly find the P16071 here and if I'm lucky, I'll have to drive 80 miles and pay $25 Dlls...

Hey Johnny!, glad to now you too have a TJ. In this city(Mexico City) traffic is so bad and wild,that I use a daily beater (Malibu '98)for a DD, but on sunny weeekends I take him out for a ride.

I've owned 4.2L, 4.6L and 4.0L Jeeps for 25 years. These engines (atleast mine)love 20W-50, 10W-30. Currently, with my '04 Rubicon with only 5K miles, I'm using Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 with great results. This the same oil as Pennzoil P. IMHO, it "sounds" (the engine)better than with Mobil 1 5W-30.

I'm on my 25th year owning Jeep (2 CJ's, 1 TJ 4 cyl., 3 Saharas and currently a '04 Rubicon with 3500 miles (no [censored]). Always used synthetic in xxW-40 or even 50. Never had a problem with these engines. They really are bulletprof. One CJ went 120K miles with absolutely no problems. Use a...

First of all; thanks for your prompt response. I think I'll go with Shell Helix Ultra, the only other choice would be Mobil Delvac 1 but it's quite difficult ot find. I've using Mobil 1 for 15+ years,so it was kind of difficult desision to take. Thanks again for your help.
