    Cat Acert engines requires a full flow oil filter. What would it do to the engine if it was run for a long period of time with the wrong oil filter?

    I did not know they offered a filter that was not "full flow". We always have used Baldwin filters and never had an issue..

    I'm curious as too see what everyone else has for info on this.

    Mine ran with the wrong number cat filter for several years, still made over a million miles before overhaul. The filter number you want to run on an accert is 1R-1808.

    I have learned that they require a "high efficiency" filter. 25 microns or less. If not, you will plug up your valve actuators...

    I had that issue on one of my trucks just after I bought it with 600K on it...

    If your in a pinch it shouldn't matter but over a long time it could mess with the VVA actuators ....
