Oil Filter

[Chuck Ingram]

Does any one remember the stubby oil filter that used an adaptor re standard to metric. I have the fitting for many years but ever used it. In time the oil filter is gone into hiding or it was used for another car.

If you know of this please help out

Thanks

Hi Chuck
Here are a few recent ones Fram PH3512, Purolator FCO-101, Wix 51335, Mann W77, or you can do a cross reference search to find one that fits. Eric

Thanks Eric

Will check them out on Thursday.

Chuck I compared sizes today-the Fram 3512 is too tall to fit. The other 3 would fit well. Good luck! Eric

Hi Eric

I do appreciate that you would even check that out.

Haven't got around to doing it yet. Been busy. Took the Lister out yesterday.
We put a out 70 miles on. Car is running super.

Chuck:

If you haven't already figured this out, the NAPA 1335 Gold oil filter is a direct screw-on replacement onto the stock Ford oil filter lug on the side of the block. No metric adapter is needed. If I'm not mistaken, I believe that NAPA's oil filters are made by Wix. Just for grins, this filter fits the Renault R5, some Lotuses, and Gravely tractors (this factoid came from the parts counter man at our local NAPA store).

Take care,
