Inside the oil pan

 

You inspect lower bearing of centrifugal filter in oil module?

 

No I didn't Tomorrow I'll check it out but do you think that part came from there

 

Looks like the inner race of the bearing. P/N 1908515PE. Here is a pic.

 

X2 ^ think you nailed it.
That was the other guys issue in this thread too wasnt it?

 

I'm not certain that there is any truth behind it, but I have heard........no evidence here.......that aftermarket filters may spin at a higher speed and can cause the bearings to fail prematurely.

I see the top bearings in the cap damaged all the time.... the button on the filter smashes the bearing cage in the cap if you install the spinner filter in the housing first. Always install the spinner in the cap and then fit to the housing.

 

I was told @ course 305 that with the OE Paccar filter the filter spins @ 9,000 rpm. Fleetguard spins @ 18,000 RPM. When they had the issue on caps loosening on centrifugal filter before they added the lock, not one reported case was with the Paccar filter. All were aftermarket ones.
