DESCRIPTION
Product Overview
- The Trucktok 2025-2026 6.7L Cummins Oil Filter features the latest top-load cartridge design, replacing the old spin-on canisters used since 2007. Located entirely in the upper engine bay, this design allows for clean, mess-free oil changes without crawling under the truck.
- Engineered with premium synthetic-blend, resin-impregnated cellulose media, it efficiently traps carbon soot, metal wear particles, and sludge while maintaining stable oil pressure. The kit includes the required premium replacement rubber O-ring to guarantee a perfect, leak-free seal inside the factory housing.
Key Features
- Combines premium synthetic-blend fibers with resin-impregnated cellulose to trap fine carbon soot, metallic wear debris, and combustion sludge.
- Features an upper engine-bay cartridge design that replaces the old spin-on canister, turning oil changes into a clean, under-hood task with no under-truck crawling.
- Engineered to factory specifications for a direct drop-in fit inside the redesigned 2025+ Cummins housing, complete with the required premium replacement O-ring.
- Maintains consistent oil flow and stable pressure under extreme conditions, from sub-zero cold starts to high-heat, heavy-load towing.
- Captures abrasive sub-micron particles before they can enter and damage sensitive turbocharger bearings or crankshaft journals.
Replacement Interval
-
Replace every 7,500 miles or 6 months (whichever comes first) under normal driving conditions. Shorten to every 5,000 miles under severe-duty conditions (heavy towing, excessive idling, or dusty environments) to ensure continuous protection for your engine and turbocharger.
FAQ
Q:Why did Ram switch from a spin-on oil filter to a cartridge design?
A:The redesigned top-load housing reduces environmental waste by replacing only the paper media instead of a steel canister. It also accommodates a larger filter element with more surface area inside the same packaging space, delivering superior dirt-holding capacity and more stable oil flow over extended service intervals.
Q: Can I use a 5083285AA spin-on filter on a 2025+ truck?
A: No. The older spin-on filter threads onto an adapter on the engine block. The 2025+ system utilizes a completely different top-load canister housing with a threaded cap and drop-in cartridge. The two designs share zero common parts and are physically non-interchangeable.
Q: How do I access the oil filter on a 2025-2026 Ram?
A: The housing is located on the driver side of the engine, accessed entirely from above inside the engine bay. Simply unscrew the housing cap, lift out the old cartridge, swap the cap's rubber O-ring, drop in the new filter, and reinstall. No jacks, stands, or crawling under the vehicle are required.
Q: What oil should I use with this filter?
A: The 2025–2026 6.7L Cummins requires 12 quarts of premium 5W-40 full synthetic diesel engine oil meeting API CK-4 specifications. Always use diesel-formulated oils, which contain the specific detergents and dispersants needed to manage heavy carbon soot.
Q: Is there a combo kit with the 2025-2026 fuel filter?
A: Yes — the new-platform 2025-2026 Ram uses a completely redesigned fuel filter system, and our 2025-2026 Dual Fuel + Oil Kit pairs this exact oil filter with both the primary and secondary fuel filters. One box covers the full engine service for your new Cummins.
