Does anyone know if there is a cat filter that will work for the oil filter on our trucks? I'd really like to run a cat as the price and quality can't be beat. I already run a cat fuel filter and would like to switch the oil filter to a cat unit as well. thanks

You can run a Donaldson oil filter which is part #P550518. Donaldson makes alot of Cat's filters.

Donaldson's fuel filter is #P550833

Travis,
Have you looked into a cat oil filter already? I have been meaning to check but the truck sits so much that it has been on the bottom of the list...

I already run the 0749, if a CAT oil filter was decently priced and had as good/better specs than GM/Napa then I'd be interested.

thanks, I'll check on them. I know donaldson makes a good filter. I just like the idea of having cat filters. They're good enough for the big diesels so they should be good enough for my little diesel ;)

FWIW, Fleetguard (Cummins Filtration) also makes a filter that fits the DMax, and they are excellent filters.

No. Donaldson makes the filters to Cats specs. When I worked for Cat every fuel filter element said donaldson right on it. Same with their air filters.

Same with their engine oil. They have a spec that they want to use, valvoline and mobil-1 make the oil to their spec. It's just outsourced.
