Re: [Amc-list] Oil filters

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

As a side note ... I DO NOT run Mobile1 oil in my Jeep, nor my Focus.  I did a couple of times and developed all sorts of leaking on both at the rear main seals.  I didn't have the problem with the Amsoil.

  I run the Mobil1 filters on my Ford Focus and the Jeep. They are 10.99 at Autozone. I'd run the Amsoil filters, but they are special-order and run a bit more in price. Both the Amsoil and Mobile1 filters run a synthetic fiber filter.

By the way, when I started running Amsoil in the Jeep, I had CONSIDERABLY less blow-by through the PCV valve. I run a catch-can between the PCV and the carb, to collect the liquid blow-by (NOTE: this cuts down on emmisions) and only allows the vaporized hydrocarbons by.

There's a couple of NAPA/Wix filters that fit, but the one with
the big can, and presumably bigger filter area, is NAPA 1258,
WIX 51258. There's a low-profile one I think for later cars
with clearance problems; Pacers? Eagles? It does work though. I
think if you ask NAPA to look it up you get the small can filter.

I run the NAPA 1258 filter on a 1970 232ci and 1983 258ci. I
believe it's the same filter for the V8.

Mobil1 makes an excellent filter, but only in the small profile,
it's M1-203. It's about twice as expensive.
