    My 1996 Series 60 seems to do well with the Fleet Air Filters. I looked back 550,000 miles, 6 years and 25 samples with the highest silicon being when the motor was fresh from a rebuild at 18 PPM. There was a one year period mixed in with paper filters and my samples for silicon were the same as the Fleet Filters. If the Fleet Filters were consistently higher on my rig I would get rid of them.

    Tried one once, never again.

    They allow through far too much dirt.

    I wonder if the older engines are harder on them with this vs the newer ones? That was why I was asking. The newer engines have the VDS5 oil and wonder if that will help or hurt with the silicone. I also put some FR3 from hotshot in this oil.

    Well that is good to know on the older engines. Was wondering if it was a thing on them or new. I wil find out soon enough.

    You are correct, Sir. Ran their filter from around 1000 miles on the truck. My engine is now dusted out at 380k. They are denying any wrongdoing or failure from their underperforming filter. 2018 Cummins X15.

    For all fyi the T680 filter is just a piece of foam. Junk.
