Oil Filter Adapter Options

The function is the same for any and all filter adapters so you'll just be paying for more convenient mounting positions or something prettier.

On top of that, it will be mounted waaaaay up in there and almost un-see-able from outside or under the car so why spring more bucks for pretty?

Just get a universal adapter from NAPA or CIP1 or SoCal that fits where you want to mount it and get it in there.....

I had a SoCal part that worked well for a few years til I re-arranged my hoses and it no longer "fit" so I dashed off to NAPA and got one of theirs which fit.  Mine is mounted to the inside of the body frame somewhere near the driver's side valve cover, but far enough out of the way to not interfere when checking the valves.  It's up high enough that the filter can isn't sticking down in the way, looking to get hit.  Just use some sense putting it in and keep it safe.

Thanks Gordon! That's what I wanted to hear. Too much money to spend in other areas.

Boothy, pay close attention to the in and out ports on the oil pump and the filter. If they're hooked up wrong it could be disaster for your engine because you will have NO oil pressure.  Forgive me if you already knew this , but it can happen to the best of us. Good luck.

Gordon is on the money. I have SO many parts from NAPA on my car I can't count them. I mounted mine like Gordon, and fill the oil filter before I install it. It takes almost a quart. Lessens the time the car runs with no oil when doing a change....

All good stuff! As always, thanks a million!!!

I have installed standard cast alum ones for years, the JC unit is very nice and they are good people to work with. The best one I used is the setab. This unit allows one to mount it in a variety of positions. Their 45 and 90 degree fittings are great because they can rotate and have adapters to run a temp sensor or thermostat to operate a fan
