What does a 427W and a VW 1.8L have in common
I went to get oil filter for my big, bad, mean, powerful, Ford 427W engine and another for my little economic 1.8L (thats 110-cubic-inch) and go figure they use the same oil filter. So is one over doing it or the other under doing it. Then I look at the oil filter for a tacoma truck, it is the size of a baseball. WTF, who figures this stuff out!!
Back the VW which uses 4qts to fill'r up. The filter itself uses about 1qt so that is 3qts left for the engine.
The cool thing in the VW is the sandwich adapter at the filter that circulates coolant through the oil to bring it up to temp faster and once up to temperature it is the "oil cooler". ...and it has the same threads and it is ment to fit the standard windsor filter, hmmm... |
