Good decision. I went to a diesel engine seminar at an FMCA Rally many years ago. The speaker highly recommended not only CAT oil filters, but CAT fuel filters as well. They are well made and provide better filtration than most after market filters. Since then I have run CAT filters only. So far so good.
