I don't know if the problem has been fixed, but quite a few years ago there was several Cummins engines came in the shop with pistons burned up. The oilers were stopped up with tiny hair like stuff. The common thread was the Fram oil filter. I didn't read it, but was told that later there was some bulletins about the excess diesel pollution in the oil eating up the bonding of the paper in the filters. That was supposed to stop the oil spray that cooled the piston. At the time I had a 92 Dodge 3/4 ton shop truck with a Cummins. I used a Wix after that. It has about 250,000 on it now and no problems.
