Better oil filter?

[79jasper]

Saw this on another forum.
The filter is "Donaldson ELF7405 Endurance Oil Filter."
Supposed to filter way better than motorcraft filters.
It's bigger than the PSD filter.

The forum is PSD's, but since we share the same filter base, figured I'd post it up.
Read about it here. http://www.outlawpsd.com/showthread...lter-(Donaldson-ELF7405-Endurance-Oil-Filter)

I put that one on last oil change. Oil still looks cleanish.

I think next oil change, I'll try this one.
Do you do OA's?

I just now saw it last night.

Impressive filtration efficiency, but that thing is stupid huge. Cant imagine it would fit. I already checked their site to see if they have a regular Powerstroke equivalent, but sadly didn't see one.

Found the Baldwin cross# (diehard Baldwin fan over here), and the length of 12 3/32". Will have to check the fit in my van application.

Of course, you guys tell me this when I still have 2 PSD size on my shelf.

All news to me. Wow.

I may buy one next time and try it out. But more research on my part needs to be done. I don't believe what I read in one post from another umknown site. Research is power just like knowledge is power.

I was just wandering.
I need to, to see how it's doing with the tsc branded oil.

It's definitely a huge filter.
Gary I agree, that's why I posted it here.

WIX has a filter search option on their site.... You can look up almost any filter and find a WIX cross. Baldwin has a search that you can look up any filter by size of thread and can size. we have 1 1/2 16 thread on the IDI. there are lots off options of Micron filtration on the WIX filters along with filter media.

The PSD sized filter is plenty large for extended drain intervals. I use the AMSOIL EAO99 it is the same as the Donaldson and ELF series filters because that is who makes them for AMSOIL.
Nobody here I bet uses their filters as long as I do, A full 25,000 miles before I yank them. These filters are designed to be used at those intervals and more when monitored with oil analysis.

I also have installed a bypass filter which catches even smaller particles than the ELF filters and extends the life of the oil and filters.
At the end of the day, month, year it was cheaper to own than repeating the oil change with the discount burger chain food

Javier, basically you're saying this is a crappy filter then?

Uh No! a bigger filter with nanofibre technology is always a good buy. Longer than the PSD filter? if it fits then go for it!

You are talking about the Donaldson ELF series filter correct? If so it is one of the best you can buy.
