There is no G. There is no G. Repeat after me, THERE IS NO G!
Fuel
The fuel system is under such high pressure that with every turn of the key you are blasting diesel and any tiny particles through the injectors. Injectors aren't cheap so I think the sooner those can be protected, the better.

Read a lot about microns here on this site. Now the smaller the particles that are filtered out in both oil and fuel is nothing but good for our engines. One thing to consider though (especially on oil) is to ensure that the smaller micron filters still flow the same amount of liquid they are filtering or else one could end up starving the engine and causing major damage over time. Just my opinion. In industry hydraulic systems we used to filter down to 80 microns and the equipment lasted running 24/7.

the flow rate is the same between the BD3717 and the "stock" filter, the pressure drop is the same. also if the filter was to get so full as to not allow the oil to flow then the bypass valve would open. unlike a fuel filter that just stop flowing fuel.

2004 or 2004.5? If you have a 2004 with the 305/555 engine then IMO all you nned to run is the Baldwin PF7977 fuel filter in the oem canister and either the Amsoil EaO80 oil filter or Donaldson ELF7349 oil filter.
