1988 520H oil/filter preference

Recommended Posts

88' 520H Onan new owner here. Been reading the posts about oils and filters. Is it safe to say I can use Napa 1762 for the engine with Rotella T1 30W and Napa 1410 for hydro with 10-30 SAE mobile 1. Looks like there is a stens filter currently on the hydro and short (020911FF) filter on the engine currently. Thank you for your recommendations :confusion-helpsos:

I am a firm believer in the O.E. (Cummins/Onan engine) and TORO trans filters but yes the NAPA/WIX are adequate, and oil is a matter of choice I prefer Castrol GTX High Mileage 10w30 in both just my experiences and I've owned the one 520H (Anniversary model) since new...

I worked for Wix Filter back in 1970 . Back then they made filters for the big three automobile companies. You could walk thru the ware house there was 25 or 30 different brands of filters. I don't  know if they made Cummins, Onan or Toro filters. If anybody makes a better filter then Wix they would have to prove it to me. The only reason I left Wix was I got hit by a Mack truck with a load of liquid sugar going to work one morning  when traffic stopped. After that it was not worth driving fifty some miles one way to work.

Thanks wvhillbilly and lee1977. Any chance on a # on the original onan oil filter for the 88' 520H?
