DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The Trucktok Gen 3 EcoDiesel Oil Filter features an innovative, fully pre-assembled design where the high-capacity filter cartridge comes factory-installed inside a brand-new glass-filled composite cap. Complete with pre-installed rubber O-rings, this all-in-one assembly eliminates the most common installation mistakes—such as misaligned, twisted, or damaged seals—that lead to slow oil leaks.
- Constructed with premium resin-impregnated media, it efficiently captures fine carbon soot, metallic wear particles, and combustion sludge while maintaining stable oil pressure across all operating temperatures. Simply thread the entire pre-assembled unit directly into the engine oil housing for a quick, leak-free service.
Key Features
- The high-capacity filter cartridge, glass-filled composite cap, and premium O-rings come fully pre-assembled as a single unit, completely eliminating seal alignment and installation errors.
- High-efficiency, resin-impregnated media captures abrasive carbon soot, metal wear particles, and combustion sludge, keeping vital engine bearings shielded from contaminants.
- Constructed from a robust glass-filled composite material that easily resists the harsh temperature cycling and high-frequency vibrations that can crack standard plastic housings.
- Maintains consistent oil delivery volume and pressure across the engine's entire operating range, from sub-zero cold starts to high-temperature towing under heavy loads.
Replacement Interval
- Replace every 10,000 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first) under normal driving conditions. For severe-duty use (heavy towing, frequent idling, or dusty environments), shorten the interval to every 7,500 miles to maintain engine lubrication and protect critical bearings.
FAQ
Q: Why is the Gen 3 EcoDiesel oil filter a complete cap-and-cartridge assembly?
A: The updated Gen 3 system integrates the filter element directly into a brand-new replacement cap. This all-in-one design prevents the common O-ring alignment and twisting errors that caused slow leaks in older engines, while ensuring you get fresh, durable composite threads and a brand-new cap with every oil change.
Q: How is this different from the 2014-2019 EcoDiesel oil filter?
A: They are completely different and not interchangeable. The older-generation filter (OE 68229402AA) is a bare cartridge that snaps onto a reusable factory cap stalk. This Gen 3 filter (OE 68507598AA) is a self-contained assembly where the cartridge is pre-installed inside a new composite cap, which must be replaced as a whole unit.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install this?
A: You will need a 27mm socket to remove the old assembly and install the new one. Simply thread the new unit in by hand, then tighten with the socket to the factory torque spec of 25 N·m (18 ft-lbs). Do not over-torque, as excessive force can crack the composite cap or damage the engine housing threads.
Q: Can I remove the cartridge from the cap and reuse the cap?
A: No. The cartridge is permanently secured inside the cap assembly, and the entire unit is designed to be replaced as a single component. Reusing old caps is highly discouraged, as repeated heat cycles can cause the plastic threads and sealing surfaces to develop micro-cracks and leak over time.
Q: What is the most recommended service kit to bundle with this filter?
A: Pairing this oil filter with the correct fuel filter is the smart move — they share service intervals on the 2020-2023 EcoDiesel. Our Fuel + Oil Filter Kit bundles the 68436631AA fuel filter with this exact oil filter, and you can step up to the 3-Filter Bundle to add the air filter to the mix.
