Fleetgaurd LF3894 on a 12v?
I have 2 leftover LF3894 oil filters from my 24valve. Can I use them on my 12valve?

TST lists part number LF3894 for 89-02 cummins. So I guess its ok?

What do you guys think?

The 3894 has a thicker shell to hold up to the higher oil pressure of the 24V on cold starts. Otherwise, it's interchangeable.

I use a rebadged fleetguard 3894 on my 12v...we buy them from AGCO (tractors). They cost me more than If I was to buy them at Cummins, but they're always in stock for $10.00.
