Re: [AMC-List] best oil filter for a 390?

[msproviero@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I use an oversize Mobil1 filter on everything.  Just pulled the stock application off the shelf and matched the thread/diameter with the biggest one there.  To be honest, my CJ hasn't run in so long that I forget whether the 304 I swapped in shares the same filter thread/diameter with the 4.0.  Anyway, FYI the big Mobil1 MI-301 fits the 4.0.  If the 4.0 is the same as the V8's (and 258's), there you go.  I'm out-of-town right now, or I would go out in the barn and verify.

Before I switched to synthetic in everything, I used Wix. I had the opportunity to witness a Wix cut open next to a Fram by the Dana salesman at a parts store I worked at in high school.
