Is there a CAT oil filter that will fit a 7.3L?
Anyone know if CAt makes an oil filter that fits on a 2001 F350?
I work at a CAT dealer and can get them a bit cheaper, if not free is why I am asking.
Thanks

Since you have access to a CAT dealer, check the specs on an IR-0716 filter. I have read that others have used them on OBS PSD but I have not seen them in person. If you do a search on Caterpillar IR-0716 oil filter you will see that there are many listings for them but many of the listings say that the filter is made in China.

Which is good but the FL1995 is 18 microns @ 98% so they are in the same ball park, the Cat filter will have a little more media.

Ok so based on those betas, the wix filter is 75% efficient at 10 microns and absolute (98.6%) efficient at 30 microns. So the wix filter tails behind the Cat by about 6-8 microns, which is pretty typical for wix filters. The big thing to watch with using larger filters is the diameter... over 4.65" and I doubt it will fit.
