I've received a lot of replies regarding what filters are being used for the
TR4. Thanks to everyone. It has also seemed to spark a debate over fiter
quality and testing. I always reading those. Anyway, it seems as if I may
have misinterpreted the information regarding the need for a filter with an
internal relief valve. For those of you with TR6 and TR250, this may ring a
bell with you. I went back to the site today. In my haste yesterday I failed
to notice the article was for these cars, not the TR4.

However, the info I received on filters was great. I think I'm going to go
with the NAPA 1516, since that is supposed to be the same as a WIX, and is
readily available. Personally, I've been using FRAMS in my other vehicles
(Fords, Isuzus, Mitsubishi, Chevy) for years and have not had problems.
Replace filter with oil every 3K miles..
I also received a recommendation to remove the filter head from the block and
clean along with the relief valve. I had replaced the spring and ball a couple
of years ago, but didn't make a difference.
Thanks,
Paul
