Oil Filter Issue
I did my first oil change and found the oil filter on my Superformance was a Napa 1742 which was HUGE maybe contains 2 qts. of oil... it was so large I couldnt remove it, due to the frame rail below the filter, so I had to lossen the bolts that hold the 'SVT' remote oil filter fixture. My question is ... is it necessary to have such a large filter? I would prefer to use a Motocraft FL1A or its equivalent, but the remote filter fixture would need to be changed, which I would be MORE than willing to do, if such a smaller filter is appropriate. The NAPA filter does not contain a by-pass valve and I think the previous owner wanted a filter that had a very high flow rate (30GPM). Most other filters flow at 10GPM. I am requesting your opinions/feedback about the filters other Cobra owners use. Thanks... |
