Oil Filter Thread

[Wild one]

Those are the bigger filters that are pre-electronic steering racks right?

I think it has more to do with whether your truck has the add-on oil cooler/heater then the steering rack.Way back before i went to remote filters,i used to use the 20-820 on my 14 with no issues,but i think anybody with a later truck that has the oil cooler adapter have issues with getting the filter to fit.The adapter shortens up the clearance for the filter,so the longer ones don't fit.

That makes sense.
Ive never inspected mine close enough to see the warmer…

 

[Bigskyroadglide]

that's it? When you step up to the plate, make it count. That's a single right there.

I was trying to leave a bit of stock for the rest of the forum. But you are correct, I should probably order more.

I think your 17 should have the cooler,next time you're looking at the filter,check and see if there's an adapter with small coolant lines going to it,between the filter and the engine block. It's #9 in this picture

Never knew Hemis had an oil cooler in the filter adapter.

Useless as **** on a bull. One more thing fail.

@DILLIGAF - isn't it amazing all the b.s. gizmos they added to what would otherwise be a wonderful engine? I was appalled when I 1st read about these on here, but very appreciative so I could defeat most of them.

 

[DILLIGAF]

I threw it in the trash

 

[MontanaHandyman]

Just like GM did dat horrible AFM/DFM system on their V-8's and killed em, LOL. I hate the MDS, but I just hit gear selector and drive on.

It's not really a cooler when you look at the size of it.It's more to heat the oil quicker,and i'm not so sure how well it does that either

Engineers call such dubious devices flow restriction orifices.

Same as trans oil cooler line thermostat.

When you figure the oil pump can be pumping in excess of 5 gallons of oil per minute,just how much cooling or heating ability is there from something that small.

Bingo!

I would have been fine with the trans oil thermostat if they'd have sized it correctly and used a quality stat, but no. F it all up and act surprised transmissions burn up.

My 2017 HEMI has both and the larger filter fits ... it's just a tight area to wrestle it up into without spilling oil out of the filter ... maybe I shouldn't fill it till the filter is full ... and removal can be just is as troublesome.

Merry Christmas to everyone, and have a Happy New Year.

....well, I bought two Royal Purple 20-820's from Summit yesterday .... I couldn't stand it .... I wasn't going say a word!

Heres another question Ive wondered…Do our 5.7’s have a “flood” crank like GM’s? Meaning floor the accelerator and crank it over and it wont start but the oil pump will circulate the oil? Charge the filter?

Yes.

^^^ what he said. I do it every time before I actually start the truck when I pick it up from recall or warranty work. The short run time from their bay to the parking spot will clack and clang every time.

I know its been said before on here but to avoid the horrible sounds of a short startup and shut down (like just moving the truck in the driveway quick) do a quick rev to between 1500-2000 rpms before you shut it off. No startup clatter next time.
