Title: Oil Filters
Post by: alabamalegends 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

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

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

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

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.

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