kevo0000 A lot of people over here use WIX filters the NAPA gold filter is made by Wix if I'm not mistaken
But like everything else each person has their favorite brand

I'll second the Napa recommendation. If you have a nearby NAPA store the Napa Gold are made by Wix. A great filter, been using them over 30 years on farm equipment.

Wix/NAPA Gold is good. We only used Baldwin filters on the fire trucks. No Fram.

Follow the lines from the injector pump back to the closest  filter. This filter is the secondary.  Run the part number  of the installed filter. It should show as 1-5 micron size.  If the micron rating is over 5, you probably have the wrong filter.
Follow the lines from this filter to the next further from the engine. This should be the Primary. The part number should show a micron rating around 10 -12.     

The primary is 9 microns and the secondary is 5 microns I checked with baldwin, excellent customer services, had a reply this morning, so looks like I have correct filters thanks a lot

No matter what the brand I wouldn't buy it from Walmart .  Parts guy showed me a Fram that he sold and the exact same one from Walmart.  The Walmart filter had about 1/2 the filter element in it. I buy lots of stuff from Walmart just not filters!
Just me

Just as good, perhaps better. FD had a budget for the best products and chose Baldwin. We changed oil every 1000 miles.
