Oil filters on E7

[ws721]

Servicing my E7 to find it has 2 oil filters and a "centrimax" filter. What is it & does it need it?  Keep in mind  this is just a plow truck. It only runs from Nov thru early Apr. Doesn't work hard.  Local dealer wants $85 for the centrimax unit. Can it be replaced with a regular spin on filter?

they must be pricing the whole filter assy,  don't know which you have but if it the one with the drain hose from the filter to the bottom of block you un screw the housing and replace the filter inside, up to 97or 98 the part # of the filter inside is  57GC2134A new #85136709, the price should be around 18.00.  The oil filters are 485gb3191C /21939324 on the E7,  The Etech engine oil filter 185GB3236 / 21939298 but it will work on E7 engine too, just filters better, the are around 12.00 a piece, should be around 42.00.   and cheaper it you go with the old oil filters.

The ESI kit from Mack comes with all the filters, why would obtain filters from parts shop looking to hose you, we get ours from the Mack dealer and the local parts house cannot meet Macks price, maybe I have good Mack dealer but you can also look at Amazon.
