[FWDLK] OIL FILTER INTERCHANGE PART 3

[Doug <dww2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

 

Just a few more things on changing filters...My friends and I use to find

2 quart filters for our old 4x4's. The older trucks have more oil filter

room because they drop straight down. We were getting almost 7 and

a half quarts of oil in our stock 5 quart engines. I DON'T RECOMEND

DOING THIS KIND OF CHANGEOVER IF YOU HAVE A HIGH VOLUME

OIL PUMP, UNLESS YOU HAVE A RACING TYPE ( 8 QT.) OIL PAN !!

The filtering process is kind of slow..at high r.p.m.'s you can actually suck

all the oil from the pan before the engine has a chance to recover it.

Becareful when interchanging oil filters from old parts books, some heavy

equiptment and fleet vehicles have " spin-on" fuel filters also, and it might actually

fit your engine. " Big Trouble" 

Just simply make sure it indicates that it is a oil filter, or ask...

PLEASE use some good sense and judgement.
