Sumner,

I was supplied a FRAM PH3600 or you could get the TG3600 (tough guard) or
the premium Puralator.   The bigger the better for all that 7 quarts of
oil.  The auto stores have the cross-reference books.   I am switching to a
Mobil-1 filter.... I think it is a a-209 not sure.

I want a "best quality" filter for the rebuilt engine.
