onesmokindmax04 09-02-2004, 11:48 AM I have done some search on the oil chage but it want come up.My Question is what kind of a oil filter should i get for a 04 duramax LLY? Can i just go to autozone or advanced to get one? What kind should i go with? How do i reset the DIC for the oil life? Thanks jbplock 09-02-2004, 11:58 AM If you go by the specs the Mobil-1 M1-303 is the best filter available for the Duramax followed by the Baldwin B1441. Other good choices are AC Delco, WIX, & Fleetguard... Also be sure to use a CH-4/CI-4 rated 5W40 or 15W40 Diesel Oil. The Oil Life indicator is reset by holding the enter key (lower right) while the %oil life display is active ... If you have the steering wheel buttons... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif Edited by: jbplock jholly 09-02-2004, 02:02 PM The Oil Life indicator is reset by holding the enter key (lower right) while the %oil life display is active ...

Jim collins110312 09-04-2004, 11:41 AM has anyone used the k&n filter yet? it is the hp 3003 i think. any comments or questions? bty i use royal purple oil. thanks jbplock 09-05-2004, 08:34 AM has anyone used the k&n filter yet... It would be nice to have the specs on the K&N filter too... Haven't seen them posted anywhere ... You could try contacting K&N and asking them for there "Beta" specs (see Filter Performance & Micron Ratings (http://www.baldwinfilters.com/engineer/95_11.html) for more info on Beta specs) Specs for the M1-303 and B1441 are Mobli-1 M1-303 Nominal efficiency: 5 microns (Beta=2, 50%) Absolute efficiency: 18 microns (Beta=75, 98.7%) Baldwin B1441 Nominal efficiency: 8 microns (Beta=2, 50%) Absolute efficiency: 23 microns (Beta=75, 98.7%) http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif Good Sam' 09-07-2004, 04:45 AM To answer K&N question if I may. K&N is designed to capture 5 or larger micon sized material. Whereas your everyday Fram air filter will catch down to 3 micons and has a better cfm rating (cubic feet per minute) than K&N. On the oil filter question all suggestions excellent, Fram also offers there tough gaurd filters that actually come off the same assembly line as the mobil, just a little less expensive. Royal purple is an excellent oil. I drove semi for Arrow trucking in Tulsa OK and we extended oil intervals from 15,000 to 40,000. I run a chevy suburban w/ a 454 using Lucas additive at 30% and change oil every 5000, to 6000 miles depending on use. Over 200k on odom no major componant failure can't be wrong. | ||
