[TR] GT6 spin on oil filter - late response

[aribert at c3net.net]

At the beginning of the week someone (Sam?) asked about spin on oil
filters for use w/ GT6.  I finally got around to looking at what I use &
take a .jpg but by now I have lost the original poster's question.

I run a 2.5L in my Spit bodied GT6 and sourced a used oil filter adapter
from someone on this list years ago.  I don't know the brand but it uses
BS (British Standard) threads for the oil cooler hose fittings (a pita to
get hoses made up in the US w/ the correct fitting). I use a tiny oil
filter that uses the standard 3/4 inch threads.  I use STP P/N S3512 oil
filter that I buy at Autozone (in the US), an inexpensive US made filter,
no idea who makes it.  This filter interchanges w/ Wix 51056 & Fram
PH3512.  Somewhere I also have a Renault oil filter P/N (I am guessing the
original application was for a LeCar or similar vehicle).  THe canister is
3 inches in diameter and 2.75 tall from the seal to the crown of the
canister. FWIW, I use the STP brand of oil filters for both the GT76 & my
Isuzu Amigo with no issues but STP brand oil filters is a poor choice for
my older F150 (lots of engine rattling on start up - assume a drain back
valve spec is wrong for the correct P/N for the Ford engine).

For some .jpgs
