I recently installed a Dieselsite Coolant Filter too.

I have not changed my first one yet, but I'm sure it won't be too much longer. I really think this will help with the EGR and Oil Cooler Pluging issue.

I have some specs on the coolant filter.

Baldwin b5134 filters down to 20 microns.
The WIX version of this filter filters down to 27 microns.

I found a place locally that sells the Baldwin filters cheaper than the O'Reilly WIX filters too.

The filter and hose to the degas bottle will get cold in relation to your other hoses if the filter plugs up.
