Remote bypass oil filtration

Doc, is it Ok to use mobil delvac mx 15w40 on a gas engine?

Yes it's perfect for any gas engine, It has less than 1200ppm zinc in it so catalytic converter safe.

Sir am I right to say that markings on the 2 filters are different in orientation? Do you have a 360 degree view?

*Ry_Tower, the marking is the same for both. The marking orientation direction is going to the thread on one side and going to the top on the other side. Noticed also the numeric markings at the bottom, just not sure what these stands for. There is also a COO on the main 12-pc box, it came from France...

If you go to the cummins site you can view the filter 360, Some of their filters now have the Fleetguard on both sides on is reverse.

The locally available LF3564 filter has 2 marking orientations, 1 in front & the other at the back (shown by Tuazon07). It's what I am currently using together with FF5160, which also has 2 marking orientations.

i already removed my catalytic converter so i can use all the Zinc there is..haha... another thing DOc, im currently using fully synthetic 5w40, if i use the delvac 15w40 will there be any significant change in fuel consumption? or too little to notice?

Higher ZDDP will give you better fuel economy, but 40 weight oil is 40 weight oil, it's not going to make any measurable difference in 5w40 and 15w40. Whoever got the much ZDDP and moly will have the best fuel economy between the two.

If you have no cat would be looking at just about any heavy duty diesel oil, Like ZIC, Delo, or Top1 all will last a very long time in a gas engine.
