I've got a new 2018 6.7 CTD and I'm gathering up my parts and supplies for my first oil change. I was planning on using the Mopar filter and the new Rotella T6 15-40. I keep reading people recommending the Donaldson Blue filters but they say they don't have a bypass valve. My question is do the Mopar filters have a bypass ? I know they are made by Fleetguard and the Fleetguard.stratapore is supposed to be a very good filter also but I don't think it has a bypass valve either. This is my first 6.7 CTD and I know that proper maintenance is imperative to engine life with all the emission crap they are suffocating these engines with. I also have some EGR questions but I'll hold off on that. Thanks
Since no one has replied yet I'll go ahead and enter my EGR questions. Does the EGR have a flow sensor on it to measure how much flow is moving through it ? I'm sure it checks for valve operations and makes sure of it percentage of open valve time but does it measure the volume moving through it ? A possible work around ? I'm well aware of the dangers of the EGR. Had 1 grenade on a 12' model Volvo at 1300 rpm under load. They junked it out. As I said in my intro, I've got a lot of questions. Thanks
