[TR] TR4 Spin On Oil Filter

[Karl Vacek]

It may depend on your adapter.  Mine uses an AC PF-34 or a Wix (NAPA) 1034.

I wouldn't use a Fram except in an enemy's car.  Lots of failure reports 
over the years, and they end up at the back of the pack whenever there's a 
filter test.  Cut a Fram apart, and also a Wix - it's an informative 
exercise.
