Donaldson Filter

Anyone on here use Donaldson filters?

If you go to their website it looks like they have all 3, air/fuel/lube.

Just curious if anyone has tried their fuel/lube filters.

I work at a Cat Dealer, have a donaldson and racor dealer down the street and IH dealer across the highway. BTW, CAT stocks wix and we charge 60 bucks for fuel filters set for 6.0 I looked at the filters and they don't impress me, especially since they don't really have a savings.

I am looking to price most tomorrow, and want to see. Donaldson fuel and lube filters on the web looked as good as the racor.

thanks

Here are the part numbers from International for their Racor brand fuel and oil filters:

Fuel filter #1847170C92, includes the frame mounted filter w/Aquabloc and the engine mounted filter

Oil Filter #1840752C91, includes one filter, one o-ring

Here's a link with info from Racor regarding proper oil filters to use on the 6.0: www.parker.com/racor/Prodbul/oil/7598-PFL2016.pdf#search=%22Racor%20Ford%206.0%20oil%20f ilters%22

Make sure the frame mounted fuel filter you purchase has the Aquabloc material around the perimeter. Here's some info on fuel filters, etc from the Ford Doctors site: www.forddoctorsdts.com/articles/article-06-04.php

The Ford factory air filter is the blue Donaldson synthetic filter.

Please let us know what you find out!

yeah, I searched and got all those part numbers

I just wanted feedback if anyone had used Donaldson fuel/lube filters on their truck yet.

I will call all the guys tomorrow and get a price breakdown and hopefully post tomorrow night

alright, here is what I found out

Fuel Filter

Racor PF-F4604 from Oilguard site $68.90/set
International 1847170C92 from IH dealer $30.69/set
Wix 33899 from CAT parts bin (walk in price) $60.12/set
Donaldson P550527 from Donaldson dealer $21.09/set

Oil Filter

Racor PF-L2016 from Oilguard $37.75
International 1840752C91 from IH $17.06
Donaldson P550528 from Donaldson $35.17
Wix 57314 from CAT $20.92

Air Filter

Donaldson P603577 only due to lack of quality substitutes with power core that I could find $42.16 at Donaldson Dealer

I don't know why the donaldson oil filter is so much more expensive, it looks different in construction on their website and says made in the UK, maybe that plays a part

anyway this is what I found. the donaldson and IH places are 2 minutes apart, so I may go both places, I want one of those trick fuel drain valves from IH anyway

Good info and thanks for sharing your research. You may also want to consider a Fumoto Valve for the oil pan. It makes draining the oil much easier, no more dropping the plug in the hot, dirty oil.
