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. http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/showthread.php?t=4097 http://www.greatlakes4x4.com/showthread.php?t=4101 -Spro -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "John Elle" <johnelle@xxxxxxxxx> > I am afraid this could be one of the arguments that could go on for ever > with no real solutions out of it but, I will agree that WIX Filters are > very good filters and probably on the whole better than Fram.
