Oil Filter

Post by WarrenD »

Is there a current oil filter that is an exact fit for the 230cid? Tried search, but got fuel filter hits!

Thanks! I assume it's a good idea to at least partially fill the oil filter chamber before putting the lid back on? In the old days, I'd put almost a quart in the spin-on filter before install so the oil pressure (and flow) would come up faster.

That's what I do when it's oil & filter change time.

Thanks again, Carter! It's remarkable what memories come back from wrenching on my first car in my college days...even more remarkable considering the number of alcohol-numbed brain cells of that long ago era! :shock:

Wix 1100 will also work. I know there are others most with the 1100 number except Fram I believe and I don't have that number handy.

Thanks, NAPA works for me as I have one of their main distribution centers just up the block.

The WIX part # is 51100. The 1100 number only applies to NAPA.
