Detroit DD15 Fuel Filter

The P551063 is designed for the fuel filtration system used on Detroit DD15 engines in applicable 2013–2020 configurations. Its 4-micron filtration rating helps capture fine particulate contamination that can potentially damage modern high-pressure diesel fuel-system components.

The P551063 is different from the Donaldson P551011 fuel/water separator we previously listed. P551011 is the water-separator cartridge, while P551063 is the primary fuel filter kit used in the applicable Detroit fuel filtration system.

DD15 Fuel Filter Kit Application

Donaldson's application guide identifies P551063 for 2013–2020 Detroit DD13, DD15, and DD16 engines. It is used as the pre-screen and combination coalescer/final filter in the applicable fuel system.

Applications can include Freightliner Cascadia, 114SD, 122SD, M2 112, Coronado, and other Freightliner and Western Star trucks equipped with the applicable Detroit fuel system.

Why Replace the P551063 Fuel Filter?

Fuel contamination can cause premature wear and performance problems in modern diesel fuel systems. Regular replacement of the fuel filter helps maintain proper fuel flow and filtration while protecting sensitive fuel-system components.

The Donaldson P551063 provides a high-efficiency replacement solution for applications calling for the corresponding Detroit Diesel OEM filter numbers.

Fitment Verification

Important: Do not assume every Detroit DD15 uses P551063. Detroit fuel filtration configurations changed with engine model year and emissions configuration. Verify the truck's VIN, engine serial number (ESN), existing filter number, and OEM part number before ordering.
