    Oil Filters for 7.3

    I was in a heavy parts truck store today pricing oil filters for my 2002 F350. The counterman had Wix oil filters for $16.00, which he said was about the best oil filter for the 7.3. I have been buying the MC #1995 oil filters for years at WM without any issues. I have no doubt that Wix makes a...

    MC 15w40

    While at WM, I keep seeing the 5 quart jugs of MC 15w40 for 11.50 each. I'm thinking if I go back to the MC 15w40 and purchase the MC oil filter I can do the oil change in my 2002 7.3 for around 46.00, not bad. I am now using the Delo 15w40 with no complaints, and no complaints with the MC 15w40...

    Oil Filter (Fill or Not To Fill?)

    I was on another diesel website and was reading about Filling/ Not Filling Oil Filter During Oil Change. I have always filled my oil filter before installing the oil filter when changing oil. I was surprised to see many do not, am I wrong to do this? bot:dunno

    Diesel Cetane Ratings

    I was getting fuel the other day when I started talking with a man who had a Dodge 3500 with the Cummins who was from VA. He advised me in VA the cetane ratings are posted on the pumps allowing him to fuel up at the stations that advertise a cetane rating of 45 instead of 40. I wished MD had...

    Slight drip oil plug

    I changed the oil/oil filter today (2002 F350) and have always noticed a very minor drip at the oil drain plug. I always use the M14 cooper washer and tighten the drain plug without over doing it. I know the Fumoto is available, but I am not interested right now. Any other ideas? Thanks

    I am going to put on a new exhaust system in my 2002 F350 7.3 this week. I went with the MBPR stainless from the turbo back. I already have the AIS Intake. I am guessing my rig will run a little better along with the EGT's also a little lower and the turbo will spool up quicker and a little...

    Oil Question

    I have read posts on various diesel sites where PSD owners say they were using brand "X" oil and would have to add a quart or two between changes. They go on to say they changed to brand "Y" and brand "Y" solved the issue of adding as much or no oil between changes. Is that possible? Thanks bot
