    Boy, with the problems with the original L9000 and now these filters, I am reassured every day that the Donaldson filters I have been using since I bought the truck was the right move.

    Aren't Donaldson and Cummins/Fleetguard made by the same parent company?

    I've been using Fleetguard LF9620 and never noticed this issue but presume its a different design for the Detroit....?

    They are in direct competition, Donaldson makes most of Cats filters.

    That seems to be something all manufacturers have in common these days.

    I did a quick Google search and didn't see anything obvious; care to expand on it a little?

    UPDATE!!! Sorry guys I screwed up the filter number, it is the 9080. The 9070 is longer one and we don't really use it so it still may have the same issues. I had some more pictures of the filters themselves, but I can't get them upload right now. I was also told by one of our service guys that NAPA filter installed really nicely, it just "felt" better if you know what I am talking about. Apparently we are in touch now with our local Fleetguard rep so I hope to have some kind of official word soon!

    Fleetguard rep came in today. No surprise, he has never seen or heard of this before.

    This ain't cool, just found our first filter with a piece of oring missing, and this was the black oring style already. Lucky for me out of my fleet of 30 trucks I only have 3 isx's. Bad news is I had one of my mechs check the used oil filter barrel and found a few more missing pieces of oring.
