Lifetime Cleanable Allison Spin ON

[MaxFarmer]

Saw this in the Diesel World Mag. Anyone brave enough to try one? Have you seen one MikeL? Kinda scares me!

8400 Series Pure Power! EHP Lifetime Oil Filter

 

[SIKDMAX]

Damn that thing is COOL! I want one - but I also want to hear what Mike has to say about it.

Personally, a 9$ filter every 5,000-7,500 miles that is proven is all I need to know. Ive never trusted a "life time guarantee" before. Ask yourself if its worth a 5,000$ transmission.

 

[MaxFarmer]

My old man has always told me "Oil and Filters are Cheap (compared to fixing things)." I would have to agree. Thats why I said that thing kinda scares me.

 

[Mike]

Ya, this kinda thing worries me as well. What kinda crap am I gonna leave in there after cleaning? Remember the valve body?

$9????

Buggers cost me $40 or more at least!!

Looks like another thing you and Simon need to stock up on when you come here

 

[LBZ]

Well maybe I was getting screwed. My '05 only got one filter change in 55 000 miles and that was $45 for the filter from the stealer and was the same price from Waterous Detroit Diesel Allison.

Maybe they came down in price since then. I need Simon to confirm this-he changes his filters and oil more than his socks!!

Fixed it for ya Kat :hug:

0 miles but 26000km.
And yes Kat, I changed it at 15 000km in the dirt behind Simon's garage. And the filter was free from a Detroit Diesel engine course instructor that took pity on me when I whined about the price and gave me a free filter back in 2006 for my '05. It never did make it on there though LOL!! The poor SOB that bought that truck I tell ya. Hope he bought the extended warranty!!

Well Pat gets to hear :blah: so I thought I would share Most times when I have to go see Mike for something I will have him change it for me in Wendy :angel:

 

[LBZ]

LOL it's all good Kat. It is midnight and all!!

It must be nice having a specialist at your beckoning to do tranny work in your backyard.

All we have up here is someone who does quality work at about the same caliber as Dr. Nick from the Simpson's!!

Hello Everybody!

Man you guys get ripped off in CA. Those filters are like 6 bucks at the local Detroit Allison shop here. Transynd is real cheap too, relatively anyway.

As for the spin on Listen to your Dad,IMO changeing filter is cheap insurance
i posted on DP about me changeing my filters early and there where a few people that thought i was being way to precautous

It helps me sleep at night that i change the spin on every oil change
