I have a DD S60 and both of the oil filters are the same part number. Even when I ask the parts man to give me filters using my VIN# to get the part numbers. I use Fleetguard filters. One of the previous posts said that one of the filters on a DD is a by pass filter. Now I am curious!
I have put a FS2500 by pass filter on my truck. Right now I am changing the by pass filter every 10,000 miles and changing the full flow filters and oil at 30,000 |

Ah thank you navistar man....that FS2500 is the one I think I heard of. Most blokes that have them swear by them.
As for your S60...I have never owned one nor researched it too heavily but odds are if both pn's are them same then it does not have by-pass. The by-pass is generally a finer filter than a full-flow. |

I took a gander at my Detroit 60 series shop manuals.
It seems that DD 60 series had 3 oil filters up until 93, 2 full flow and one bypass. After that they dropped the bypass (?) and the 2 full flow remain.
So I was wrong, sorta!
Seems strange they'd do away with the bypass filter..... |

WHAT ???
Maintenance is the CHEAPEST repair you will ever do !
IF you want to extend your oil changes by oil Analise's ... then be very carefully , you can do that.
It might cost you more but if your oil changes are with-in you time frame and duty cycle ....... why mess with it ? You are doing what`s best for your engine AND piece of mind . |
