428 FE Oil Filter
 
I have an empty oil filter box - FRAM Double Guard Oil Filter DG8A for my 428 FE engine - I need another filter or two but cannot find one on line - is there an alternative filter?

There's a zillion. I use a Moroso filter -- they're as good as any of the filters out there. Summit will ship it to you today. Moroso 22470 - Moroso Race Oil Filters - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Moroso, Motorcraft, Wix....all are good ones.

I wouldn't worry about ordering online.....Autozone, NAPA, Advance, O'Reillys, etc. can be your friend here.

x2. I run the Wix Racing or the Motorcraft. If you are a smart shopper you can buy them by the case from time to time on eBay and save $.

Mobil 1 makes a nice filter too. M1-301.

Motorcraft FL-1A is available almost anywhere, even Walmart.
That or the Wix 51515 ( if I recall the part number correctly) are the best filters to use in my book.

The Moroso filter gave me an additional 75 horsepower at the rear wheels.:cool:

Wow, that means you're probably up to what......77? Maybe 78 now?

Probably the reports year ago on exploding FRAM oil filters and generally cheap construction. I don't know how valid the reports were but they sure made a lot of us go to something else.

I like the Motorcraft filters. I don't know what is in them, but they weigh a lot more than other filters. I like the FL-1HP. Mustang Oil Filter at LRS - Same Day Shipping! It even has a picture of a GT-40 on it.

Cause it's recycled, and it's the metal particles from the guy that used it before you. http://www.capitalareacobraclub.com/...ve1/2funny.gif

Actually they use those extra particles to produce passenger side roll bars. LOL!!

WOW.....seems to be crap on Patrick day....

anyway the filter choice is a new peeve i am wondering for the upcoming driving season, in my engines i tend to run a higher oil pressure and the bypass valves in most filters now has me concerned.........
there are some filters without this pressure bypass in them......somehow i think the fram problem is related to this very subject........
so to add a new tickle to the thread......who makes a filter without a bypass?


Patrick I'm sure has some input on this.....hehehe
