question about Wix oil filter

I have a 05 2500 as you can see by my signiture. ok hear is the deal...i just went to change my oil and got a wix PN#51607 filter, the one that i took off the pickup was a 57620. i called the part store that i got the filter from and they had both part numbers listed. i just want to make sure that i can use that filter.

The only approved oil filters for Dodge's diesel engine are as follows:
Part # Manufactuer
5083285AA Mopar
LF16035 Fleetguard Stratapore
LF3894 Fleetguard Stratapore
LF3972 Fleetguard Cellulose
LF3552 Fleetguard Microglas
LF3959 Fleetguard Cellulose
3937695 Cummins Cellulose
FL896 MotorCraft Cellulose
L45335 Purolator Cellulose

I use the fleetgaurd LF16035 for my truck. I get em from my cummins dealer for $10. Hope this helps,Rooster

I use Wix# 51607. They changed the number when they quit wraping the filter in plastic. Now they just stick it in a box and save a few cents. I have also used Baldwin filters ( only because our company gets them so cheap , about $2.50.).
