I have been working on my MH doing general maintenance changing filters etc. I have found most of them but not all...

Is there a place I can go to get all the filters? Right now I am looking for filters for my generator; Air, Oil, and Air... Onan Diesel 7.5

Thanks LeeB

I get my filters from Amazon and they come from Wholesale Direct Parts.

If you want to buy them locally try your NAPA auto parts store.

Wooooooooo Hooooooooo thanks for the information....... I just went to my local Napa store and bought all 3 filters for my generator. Air, Oil and Fuel and they have a promotion going on, if you buy their shopping bag for 99cents and purchase 3 things that fit in the bag you get 20% off each item.....
My original bill was $55 and buying the bag it dropped my bill to $45..... Thank You Very much......

One caution on buying from a few of these sources. Is to specifically ask if they stock filters that are within useable 'Shelf Life'. A few years back, I ordered two sets of fuel filters to carry as spares. (Due to hoping that they have changed their businesses practices, I will not now name the business - but, it is one mentioned above.) These were Fleetguard filters, that were two years passed their expiration Shelf Life date. The company took them back for us, and checked their stock and had none of these two filters that were within not past the Shelf Life date.

So, when ordering, get someone on the phone and ask specifically about the age of the filter. And last $.02, go by what the manufacturer says - not what the place selling the filters say. (I called and talked with Fleetguard on these fuel filters, and their Shelf Life date. They said they confirmed they were expired, and confirmed that Fleetguard would not recommend their usage.)

We carry two sets with us, and at each years maintenance, put the oldest date filters on, and then out the new ones into our backup filter storage box

!

A bargain price, on outdated filters, is not a bargain

Best to all,

Another reason to buy from your local NAPA store. You can inspect the product before you pay for it.

The local Cummins dealer has had all of the filters that I need, for one stop shopping. Yes I might pay a little more for them, but have never had an issue. Besides, we get used to paying a little more here in Alaska.
