I asked a trucker friend and he had no idea where to get a oil filter analyzed. He has a tool he bought and he randomly cuts open his oil filters per his KW/Cat owners guide. He says the best filters he found were Donaldson Endurance and he uses nothing else for the last 5 yrs or so. He samples his oil once every 15,000 miles but has not had to change oil in over 100,000 miles. Besides the Donaldson Endurance oil filter he also uses the Donaldson Endurance Air Filters and an AMSOIL HD bypass oil filter. His truck has about 1.4 million miles, its 2000 KW with Cat engine. 1 Million miles on synthetic oil, was Delvac and now AMSOIL for the last 5 yrs. Holds about 14 gallons I if recall.
