Aftermarket parts shouldn't impact warranty if it's licensed by the manufacturers for some well known company. But how are we going to explain it to the dealer that the filter used is made by a company name "Happypartstoyou"? ?
Are you friends with project farm?Incase someones are interested. Below are the genuine fuel filter.
Loosely shrink wrapped.
The pleat has a cotton like texture and unfortunately looks ugly and uneven ?
I wasn't questioning you or your choices or the knowledge of your tuner... I was just curious if maybe he had done some type of "true" testing. For example, there is a ton of data on OIL and Oil comparisons. But as far as I know, there has not been any testing done on the 2020-2023 Diesel Oil Filter. Especially between the OEM and NON-OEM filters. So although many have expertise, at this point I would still consider it an opinion, even if it is a well educated one.
Does this function as the water separator filter as well ? Or is that something separate ? Im not quite sure how our JT system works.Incase someones are interested. Below are the genuine fuel filter.

A doubt a diesel filter at that price will be OEM. But that doesn't necessarily mean its bad either. I would definitely be interested in the pics. I will take some of the non-oem I currently have.
It look to have just one pleat type, so probably not a water separator. Or maybe a single pleat can perform both duty. I'm not sure tho.
Compare the bypass valve. The 3 filters that i had separated it has different valve designs. Some are screwed into the cap with 4 screws. The factory valve is floating and it act as part of the filter cartridge.
I agreed. Plus this filter cartridge is kinda small too. I changes mine between 7-8k miles and by the look of it, i wouldn't go longer.
I am actually taking (tring to.. lol) take the same pics you did. To me the valve looks the same, I was going to ask you if you could take a closer look at it though, to see if something is stamped onto it.. mine seems to have some letters/numbers ? (Or something)
Replacing my first one soon, basically 5k... will be Replacing forward every 8k.
See how the bypass oring is ready to pop out and over the plunger? Imaging with hot oil and pressure for thousands of miles. It'll get suck into the engine.I am actually taking (tring to.. lol) take the same pics you did.

Mine doesn't have any writting on it, just a dimple on the outer ring face and the center plunger plastic is brown/greenist in color.I am actually taking (tring to.. lol) take the same pics you did.
