P551063 Fuel Filter for Freightliner & Western Star Detroit Diesel DD13/DD15/DD16 Engines
Description
Important: This Listing Covers a Fuel Filter — With a Commonly Paired Oil Filter Noted Separately
The reference numbers P551063 / PF9908 / A4720900651 identify the fuel filter covered by this page (4-micron, 99% efficiency). The numbers P551005 / LF17511 / P7505 that are sometimes listed alongside these actually identify a separate oil filter (17-micron, 50% efficiency) — not another fuel filter part number. Donaldson sells these two together as part of a maintenance kit (their “DD2FILTER” kit) for Detroit Diesel DD13/DD15/DD16 engines, which is likely why the two get grouped together in listings. This page is written primarily around the fuel filter (P551063), with the companion oil filter’s specifications included below for reference, since many buyers order both together.
Product Overview
This P551063 fuel filter is a high-efficiency cartridge-style fuel filter designed to remove fine contaminants from diesel fuel before it reaches the fuel injection system, protecting sensitive injector components in Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, and DD16 engines. As explained in this overview of common rail injector failure causes, poor fuel filtration is one of the leading causes of injector problems in modern diesel engines, since these systems rely on precise valve tolerances that are highly sensitive to contamination. Each unit is dimensionally verified against OEM measurements and tested for filtration performance before shipment — not just matched by part number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is P551005 also a fuel filter? No. P551005 is a separate oil filter, commonly sold alongside the P551063 fuel filter as part of a DD13/DD15/DD16 maintenance kit. If you need both, please specify — they are two different products with different filtration ratings and functions.
What trucks use the P551063 fuel filter? It’s used across Freightliner 112SD/114SD/Cascadia/M2 112 and Western Star 4700/4800/4900/5700 series trucks equipped with Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, or DD16 engines, primarily from the 2013-2019 model years.
Is PF9908 the same as P551063? Yes. PF9908 (Baldwin) and P551063 (Donaldson) are cross-referenced to the same fuel filter specification, along with the A4720900651 Detroit Diesel/Freightliner OEM number.
Do you offer samples before a bulk order? Yes. We recommend requesting a sample for independent testing before committing to a bulk order, especially for first-time buyers.
