Greetings,
Back when I lost access to BITOG 4 years ago, the general consensus for oil filter superiority was Fram Ultra Xtra Guard, having wound fiberglass media with 5 micron particulate capture and retained high flow rate. I've been using them ever since without issue and with complete confidence.
Fast forward to today - boy goes out and buys a used Ford SuperDuty F250 with the Navistar 6.0l PowerStroke diesel engine. These had HEUI fuel injectors, actuated by high pressure engine oil from the common oil pan. I would think cleanliness is of utmost importance to HEUI fuel systems. They were known for sticky injector pintles from degraded and / or oversaturated engine oil. As early as 50,000 miles. This is from research I did.
I searched BITOG for some history on oil filter types for this engine, but couldn't come up with anything. The engine was built from 2003 - 2008. Any reason you can think of not to use Fram Ultra Extra Guard synthetic oil filter?
Thanks
