can't go wrong with them as they are owned by cummins. 45 for an oil filter is cheep instead of 5G for a engine.

you oil turns back because you have an 04.5 or newer engine with the " in cylinder EGR" as some put it but all it really is is an extra injection event. the 03-early 04 didnt have this, my oils stays clean till about 4500 miles. but the cleanliness is not a proper way to tell if oil is still good or not.
with the 9028 i'ma run 10K miles between changes with VPB 5/40 oil.
DING! You just cleared that up for me. I was mistaken. The EGR event started with the Cat converters in 04.5. I lost a ton of that knowledge when my brain collapsed a few years ago. Now I remember why I took the 04 instead of the 04.5 when I bought. My hard drive crashed.

Killer your package got here.. I wish I felt better though
