Oil Filters
« on: June 10, 2007, 06:03:28 pm »
What is the recommendation for the oil filter on the Legends engines?  I have noticed that some have 8-10 gal/hr flow rate and some that are 28-30.  Also, is burst pressure important, some are 500 p.s.i. and others are 280 p.s.i.   Seems like a big variation.

In the past I have used WIX 51515, Mobil 1 M1-402, Deutsch D605, Fram Ph3766.
I am using a Puralator L30288 now and I believe it's a  25+ gal flow rate.
 
Will different brand oil filters/different flow rates have anything to do with oil temp?  ???

Thanks, Roger

stick with the wix. I have seen a number of fram filters blow the gasket and cause fire/wrecks due to spraying oil.

NAPA filters are made by wix, so they are just as good.

Al,
 I am using an Oberg screen type filter. Don't know if that's legal for you.

Hey Steve,

I've seen those for automotive use but never gave it a thought for a Legend car, I'll look into that a little more.

Regards,
Al

Hi Al!

 The filter screens are washable, and can also be replaced with different size screens.  I  used them in my modified; never had any problems. They tend to be a little pricey. I bought mine off eBay for $30.00 incl. shipping.

I made a mistake  :-[ on the oil filter we're using, K&N Performance Gold HP3001 is what I used.

I have been using K&N. Probablly not the best idea. I'm going to go look at my flow rates etc. tomorrow. I tend to run too warm and am updating to that extended oil line/filter tomorrow.

I use the WIX after I saw some Fram come apart.  Just what I use and never had trouble with them.

Probably not something to go cheap on, but I bought a case of Havoline filters that came out to like 95 cents a piece last year...but I change the filter after every night and have had no problems,  this is not a recommendation...just what I do

The Purolater Racing filter # L39001 is very good for the price, a little cheaper would be the Purolator #L30001

We're using the NAPA Gold 1515, we also use the NAPA Gold 3032 fuel filter.

Later,
