Has anyone found a K&N or something that will fit in our can?

Rich, suggest you go on website www.afepower.com and call them give them details on your engine.

I've used the AFE Oiled Air Filters on my Cummins ISL 400 for 12 years. I clean and re-oil approx. every 15,000 mi subject to inspection. During the 12 years I owned 2 of them.

Thanks so much Dan. They are making heavy duty engine filters now!

I would be very cautious about using a reusable filter.

For those of you that cross read on other boards. Many of you may be aware of the Cummins IRV2 section, where Spike45 (Gary) shares his knowledge. Retired from Cummins, and provides common sense advise.
Suggest that when it comes to filters, CAT, Detroit, Etc. - are all relative to Cummins based knowledge.
Worth popping over and doing a search on Filters or Spike45 under the Cummins section, and you will find that Spike45/Gary strongly encourages the avoidance of these filters. And interestingly, he also recommends not doing more Air Cleaner filter changes then actually needed. Either due to restriction, or age. Dusting is always a risk, when swapping our Air Filters.
Lots of $$ for an engine, vs a quality air filter every few years. IMO, just not worth the risk. If you feel you need for air flow, stay with a quality filter, and see if you can find a larger canister. But also IMO, CC did a good job on right sizing the air canisters for the engine size in their rigs. Best to all, Smitty 04 Allure 31017

I looked at Spike 45s stuff. he is one who makes general statements about K&N and AFE oiled filters. I run an AFE in my 6.0 Ford which is used primarily in very dusty off road conditions. when I take it out to clean, downstream of the filter is spotless. so I don't agree with him and we probably have a few billion miles on these things in light diesels. the new heavy duty k&n air filters are an entirely different beast. they are not oiled. I cannot find any reliable test data on these. if anyone can it would be appreciated. the truckers who operate in heavy dust environments are the ones who really know. Rich 2002 Magna
