Official EcoDiesel Oil and Filter Recommendations

[Vtur]

I just added an oil filter to the front page.

Crown, part #849603033417
Oil Filter | Crown Automotive Sales Co

I had bought one. The media aren’t synthetic like the factory filter.

I've been using the Wix fuel and oil filters with good results. I add them to my Amsoil order, they carry them.
I also run the Amsoil Signature Series 5w40. I was really impressed with how clean the inside of my oil pan was when I dropped it to inspect pick up screen.

I just wish the Wix had the micron rating that ECOGARD, Fram Extra Guard, Fram Tough Guard, and Fram Ultra Synthetic have. Wix is no better than OE.

Mopar/Wix are pretty close to 99% @ 36 micron with 16 grams of capacity.

Fram Tough Guard is 99% @ 20 micron with 17.5 grams of capacity.

I'll be switching the 2015 Ram EcoDiesel from Rotella T6 to Amsoil Signature Series. Here in a few weeks, I'll be switching the 2020 Ram EcoDiesel from Pennzoil Platinum to Amsoil Euro MS. The 2023 Gladiator EcoDiesel will eventually be switched from Pennzoil Platinum to Amsoil Euro MS, but I've got a few more oil changes with Pennzoil Platinum first.

I just done an oil change. Switched to Amsoil Euro MS. This oil sample will be the second oil change with Mobil 1 ESP.

I'm looking forward to the results.

Found Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 has the MS-12991 spec listed. Kinda hard to find and a bit pricey currently in Canada.
