Choosing a filter for your Synthetic Oil

Fleetguard is actually part of Cummins Filtration. They make filters under their own name and OEM for several other manufacturers. Caterpillar came up with a really tough standard that Fleetguard was one of the first to meet.

We routinely used Fleetguard filters in both our John Deere rental and customer owned construction machinery. Never had any filter related issues with either the spin-on or the cartridge types.

I never bothered to cross the Wix 51515 that I use to a Fleetguard. But now that I have, I'll be buying a few. Most Cat or John Deere parts counters ought to have them, or can get them for you.
