For the ones that do not know, the Fleetguar oil filter is the exact same as the Racor/Motorcraft.

I got it for ~$13.68 from TruckHelp.com.
Fleetguard LF16166 Oil Filter











Picture of the seems.













So, for the ones that didnt konw, we have 3 OEM options for oil filters.

 

Great shots. Thanks for taking the time.

 

Good to know Steve. Who sells the Fleetguard? Is it a store brand for anybody?

 

I thought fleetguard was a Fram filter name. After doing some reading it is NOT a fram filter, Fleetguard is a company in India and is owned by the Cummins group.

 

Do you have pictures of the patent numbers on the end of the filter?

 

I will never buy a fram filter.





It is the first picture.

 

Fleetguard aka Cummins Filtration is one of the most well respected filter manufacturers in OTR and heavy equipment use, next to Donaldson and Baldwin.

Pretty sure Fleetguard is 100% American owned, and with several factories in the USA likely makes a significant amount of their own filters.

Are you talking about the filters above? That SmokerSteve posted?

 

 

My bad. Lol

 

The google search for fleetguard brought this up, About Fleetguard and according to this the company is based in India and is owned by the cummins group.

 

Not sure what the heck that site is...

Here is the official website:

That looks like Fleedguard India's website.

 

This is something that has changed recently. Fleetguard filters used to use outsourced Wix filters for the 6.0, I bought some of them from my local International dealer and returned them. They were the ones with the little plastic clip.

G;ad to hear they switched to the proper filter, as noted above Fleetguard is one of the most respected filter names in the business.
