Went to pick up some extra fuel filters for my Nictane and out of couriosity haqd them cross reference the Dmax oil filter and they came up with a match for 8 bucks. Just wondering if anyone has used these. Thanks,Brian

For oil?


No way really,what number did you give them? I'm excitedly pessimistic.


What was the Cat Number ?





Mac

Part number PLEASE!!!!!!

Mac, I gave them the Baldwin # to cross reference with. The # for the cat is 238-3849. I hope it is true also as I woud be pleased with some one stop shopping.

I'd love to have CAT filter on my rig. Especially since I have friends that work for CAT.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif Keep us posted on what you find.

Same here. Get one in hand and all will be good! I'l check with my CAT dealer tomorrow. Time for an oil change anyway.

Ill take a 6 pack of those. Ive been running the mistersushi filters.

Anyone know if CAT oil filters are as high of quality as their fuel filters? I'd like to see what the filtering efficiency is and to what micron size.


I recall someone had posted stats on common oil filter brands and Baldwin/ WIX/ AC Delco were at the top of the list. Wonder if the CAT oil filter is better yet?


My assumption is they are top quality. I wanta' try 'em.

I get the AC Delco PF2232 at Murrays Auto for something like $3. They usually only have 2-3 on the shelf, so I buy 2-3 whenever I go there.


If they ever have more than that I'll get extra ones, then I'll sell them to whoever wants them for what I paid.

Talked to my CAT guy today. that part # is legit. it is not used for any CAT application. CAT makes it as a replacement for GM light-duty trucks..


cost was $7..

DP,

I went to the CAT dealer today to buy more fuel filters
and he ran the part # 238-3849

They have to order this direct from Baldwin..that is what
he says.

I wonder if they are painted yellow? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif Edited by: 56Nomad

Anyone know for sure if it is just a Baldwin painted yellow? I haven't had the chance to talk to my Cat dealer. Kind of kills the excitement if it is.

Any one have any info yet??http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif

I ordered four of them friday, should be in within a week. I will report if someone doesn't be me to it. Brian

Did you ask about it being a painted Baldwin when you ordered?

They said they were made by Baldwin , but that's ok because I was looking for a local supplier of Baldwin anyway.

Anybody find out if these are legit? I mean if they are just a simple baldwin filter that kills the excitement. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif

Strange. The Baldwin oil filters up here are $8.25 Cdn. I would expect them to be cheaper than $8. Macs price seems better.

I bought a case of 12 Baldwin B1441's from Westfleet.com (http://www.Westfleet.com) last year.. Price per filter was under 6.00 (about 5.50 IIRC) and they charged actual shipping (no handling).

The CAT oil filters are definately not CAT manufactured..
And no, not of the quality of the CAT fuel filter.
George Morrison

Our local Cat dealer is also a Baldwin Distributor. Ring Power at many locations in Florida, if anyone is interested.

So, dont buy these? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

I just changed the oil in my GMC and I got an oil filter and a 2,1/2 gal jug of 15w40 form John Deere for $26. The filter cost like $3.29 or somthing. JD filters are of good quality as I have seen many cut open and they are well built IMHO. Don't know who they have make them but that is what I am going to use.

So, dont buy these? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif


I would gladly use the CAT Filters if they were re-labeled Baldwin B1441's... Last time I checked the Badwin had the best specs of all the all the oil filters available for the Duramax: 8 micron nominal (50%, Beta =2) and 23 micron absolute (98.7%, Beta = 75)


See Oil Filter for Duramax question (http://dieselplace.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2614&KW=B1441+beta) for more info.

GSXRturbo1, Hi Tom, just realized I used to live across the street from you! Eric here, I had the red Z71, you live between the other two Toms! I moved last summer. You were part of the reason I got a Dmax, never got a ride in yours, but after driving one had to have it. Got a juice coming hopefully this week! How is your tranny holding the HJ?

Noble1, what is the JD part # for the oil filter?

Hey redneck45/Eric, small world! So far so good, no trans problems approx 26K miles. Eventually I'll upgrade.

Pick: I can't remember off hand but I can get it for you. I think be box is still in the trash in the shop. I can swing by and get it and get back to you.

The JD oil filter # is TY22085 for anyone that wants to know.

Just got the oil filters I ordered from the local Cat dealer and when I open up the carboard I found four Baldwin B1441's ,which is find because that is what I was looking for any way. Just thought I'd let everyone know. Brian
