spin on oil filter

I was looking on ebay and saw a conversion kit for a spin on oil filter. Just wondering if anyone has converted to the spin on filter.
 
two schools of thought on them,
1. easier to change oil filter
2. also easier to be hit by a stick and punch a hole in the thin metal covering letting your oil run out.

my old D14 AC had one back in 1957, but it was mounted high upon the side of the engine, out of harms way.
 
Here is but one result from the search engine here.

In other words, that question has been asked & answered a lot.

Do you know that the same cartridge used in the OEM canister on 9/2/8Ns was also used in lots of other engines including Mercedes and Porsche? Good enough for me.
 
Personally I think they're just a doo dad and probably wouldn't add one.
That said, Ford did put spin on fillters on a Lot of tractors - both on the engine and on the later ones, the hydraulic system but I've never heard of someone getting a puncture in one.

I have that one tagged in case I win the Lotto . With the way this adapter is made you could run most common filters with a 3/4 - 16 thread . This would include the famous FL1A .

I bought an after market remote filter adapter and by the time I build a mounting bracket and add ugly pipe reducers I will have as much money tied up as if I had just purchased this unit .

If you want the original look then this is not for you , but if that's not an issue the vertical unit sold by robertr1747 would be a nice addition , it is clean and classy looking .

I have seen a horizontal adapter that looked like it might be a little messy .

I did the one on e bay easy to install the conversion, I use the Motorcraft FL1A filter. I changed everything on my 48 8N I bought it last September. It has a Wagner front end bucket loader and a dozer blade and a grader blade in the rear. I bought it use it so I changed it to 12 volt, changed it to electronic ignition and the spin on filter. Nothing worse then when you go out to plow the snow and it won't crank or won't start or won't stay running.
 
.......... so I changed it to 12 volt, changed it to electronic ignition and the spin on filter. ..........

:lol:

in for a penny, in for a pound :)
 

i am only in for a penny, and i figure if i enthusiastically show off my points and filter canister, no one will notice the alternator. that's my story and i'm sticking to it.
 
I said it before. The original set up is the same that was on my 356 Porches and my 220 Mercedes. I never did consider changing them.

I would not change the filter for quality reasons but for convenience . It is easier to change and anyone that sells filters has an FL1A filter , which is also a filter I use on other vehicles .
 

All of the manufacturers have for many years had this foolish idea that if their product is known for reliability and lasting longer they will sell more of them. Research has proven that spin on filters are three times more likely to get changed than cartridge type so they all changed over to them. :)
 
Reinventing the wheel in my opinion. I never had a desire to waste my $$$ on them or a need to change what already works. An oil change is about the easiest thing to do on an N. I have wondered too that when one unscrews the spin-on type to change, does the oil in it spew all over you and everything else? I'll stick to my FRAM C3P thank you...

My 3000 has a horizontal screw on filter and makes a slight mess but not as much as cleaning the sludge in the bottom of an N canister . The filter on the ebay listing is a vertical spin on and would be the cleanest method especially since it is mounted above the rest of the oiling system . I guess it all boils down to what the owner enjoys or dislikes .
 
(quoted from post at 13:21:30 03/12/17) If I were to convert to spin on, the spin on would have a metering hole.

I have a generic remote adaptor that will need to have a restriction . Most of the guys I see make one for sale on Ebay use a restriction hole in some form .

The ebay link I posted earlier in this thread .

[i:79b6440dfb]#5 -The adapter has a 1/16" (.062") diameter orifice built in to prevent the filter from robbing more than it's fair share of oil from the rest of the system and maintaining lube system balance. This is the same size orifice used on the original Ford filter housing[/i:79b6440dfb].

I prefer the cannister type because of their load up capability, having a bigger filtering medium.

All my Chevys had canister types, usually taking a Fram C-4.
Those setups are called bypass filtration, because they didn't accept the oil untill AFTER the shafts were lubed and the oil got to the same point as the oil pressure sender on the block. It takes several minutes atl 45 mph for all the oil to pass through this type. Because the bearings etc. already got their oil from the pump it meant that filtering medium could be finer without fear of starving the shafts since there is no bypass valve within a canister filter.

The modern spin on is located between the oil pump and the bearings so it must have a bypass valve within it so that when the medium is saturated the shafts won't be starved for oil.

I'm still wondering but pretty sure that the 8N Canister filter is just like my old Chevs . . . a bypass filter system.

So if I had a canister on the Jube or on an 8N I would love it and leave it just as it is, with a good old FRAM C-4 as tim said.

My current 51 Chev doesn't have its Fram C-4 anymore. I installed the biggest canister filter I had on it. I had a box of canisters and took them in a box to the Fram warehouse in vancouver years ago, to get a couple of them ID'd. the young guy at the desk says, "You're in luck; the old man is here today!"

So out he comes and starts naming which filters i need to fit my canisters (which I was adding to vehicles that already had modern spin-on, full-flow systems). When he picked up my fattest canister his eyes lit up and he says with pride, "This one takes the best filter Fram ever made . . . a Fram C-21 and there are two elements for this canister. One is made of stacks of wood fiber disks for use in the winter when humidity is higher and you don't want to prematurely load up the filter element with moisture. The other element that the canister takes is stuffed with cotton waste (like densite) for use in the summer when you aren't worried about moisture absorption shortening the life of the filter."

The last time I bought one the same C-21 filter number had changed to C-4 if i remember correctly. Anyway it is still on my 235 Chev engine.

I feel the same way about rings . . .
Give me 3-ring pistons any day! :)

Wix sells a filter with metering orifice in the filter.
JFYI, some of the newest cars are coming out with canister filters. Nothing new under the sun!
 
I got an old 66 Ford 3000 that I put the spin on oil filter adapter on and really prefer it over the original filter, and I run the Ford FL-1A oil filters on it
