[AT] Tractor OEM filters

[Dennis Johnson]

Mike,

Feel lucky. The new oil and filters for my Ram ECO-Diesel are not yet available at most parts houses. One place listed oil at about $13 per quart (10 qt required), but filter was not available. Therefore dealer charges $198 for oil and filter change every 10,000 miles.
