Donaldson P552200 Fuel Filter

Fuel Filter Overview

Donaldson P552200 is a spin-on secondary fuel filter built for heavy-duty diesel fuel systems. It uses 8-micron cellulose and meltblown media with 99% efficiency to help maintain clean fuel delivery in demanding commercial applications.

Compatible with Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth C500, and International ProStar applications, this filter is specified for secondary filtration and uses an M72 x 2 thread size. The Donaldson P552200 is also cross-referenced to common replacement numbers used in the same application.

Key Features

• Spin-on secondary fuel filter design for diesel fuel system service
• 8-micron filtration with 99% efficiency per SAE J1985
• Cellulose and meltblown media for fine contaminant capture
• M72 x 2 thread size with 9-inch overall length
• Primary application listed as Cummins 4088272

Detailed Description

The Donaldson P552200 is a secondary fuel filter intended for heavy-duty trucks that require spin-on filtration in the fuel delivery system. Its 8-micron rating and SAE J1985 efficiency testing provide a clear specification for filtration performance, while the cellulose and meltblown media support fine particle retention in diesel service. This part number is used across a wide range of applications, including Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth C500, and International ProStar models.

Fitment includes 2009-2022 Freightliner Cascadia, 2018-2019 and 2002-2016 Kenworth C500, 2008-2018 International ProStar, and additional coverage for Peterbilt, Mack, and other heavy-duty platforms listed in the fitment data. The Donaldson P552200 is a practical replacement when the application calls for a secondary spin-on fuel filter with the specified thread and gasket dimensions.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a secondary fuel filter in diesel fuel systems
• Capturing fine contaminants before they reach downstream components
• Maintaining fuel flow in heavy-duty truck service
• Servicing applications that specify a spin-on filter with M72 x 2 threads

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the filter style, thread size, gasket dimensions, and application notes before installation. This part is listed as a secondary fuel filter, so confirm that the vehicle calls for secondary filtration rather than primary service. Match the application to the exact make, model, and year range shown in the fitment data, including Freightliner Cascadia, Kenworth C500, and International ProStar listings.

Quality Assurance

Donaldson specifies this filter to SAE J1985 efficiency testing and lists a 99% efficiency rating at 8 microns. The part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
