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

We're using the FRAM PH-8A oil filter, seems to working fine.

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.

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.

All-
Thanks for the input. It is much appreciated. Roger ;D
-
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.

What is the part #for the Napa filter?
-
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

What is the part #for the Napa filter?
We're using the NAPA Gold 1515, we also use the NAPA Gold 3032 fuel filter.
Later,
