OIL FILTERS


Recommended Posts

I've been running Fram oil filters and I tried to see if the one I had for my wifes Toyota would fit, NO! so I decided to look up the specs, thread size, and ran into a bunch of oil filter utube shows that made me wonder what was the best, what are you guys running? I think I'm switching over to Napa Gold #1348.

I run a Wix #51347. It's a little bigger around and somewhat longer. About twice the size overall then stock. Never did like the little tiny filter. Would like to go to a Mobile extended high mileage filter but haven't as of yet found one to fit. I understand that they filter down to a lot smaller size particle then regular filters.

From what I have seen/heard/read about fram they are the cheapest and worst filters out there in general just the way they are made. I have seen and read that the NAPA filters are good as are the WIX filters. There are lots of videos and discussions about filters in general out there and every one I have seen have been very unflattering for fram.

I had my sweetheart go get my oil filter for me and when I got it I was still messing around looking at cross references and noticed that the Napa Gold #1348 filter has a thread of 3/4-16 and my Trooper need a thread of 20-1.5, so I had her take it back and we ended up getting a Wix 51334 from Checker O'Reilly and they had gallon bottles of oil on sale, so we got 4 gallon of oil and it turns out the one bottle is perfect for an oil change. I use Valvoline 10-40.

Troopers with Thread Size: 20X1.5 MM can use:

I'll look up some more tomorrow, going to bed, and I'll copy this to parts and pieces, too.

I had to pull my engine, again, because I had a bad seal between the pan and the engine. What I found out is that you don't tighten the bolts when not using a gasket and just silicone, you run the bolts in until you see silicone start to squeeze out and stop, wait for an hour and then tighten another 1/4 turn, that's the instructions, what I did was put silicone all the way around the pan, then drag the threads of a 1" bolt through the silicone to make grooves and let it cure completely, next day, I added more silicone filling up the grooves and mounted it and tightened it down, but not overly tight, but enough to see silicone squeeze out. We'll see how that works.

I hope you guys appreciate how hard it is to make a table like this, it has to be done by hand, no copy and paste, bummer, oh well,

Notice the Nominal Micron Rating the smaller Napa filters have the better ratings, interesting, and the taller ones have the better burst value. Any one have any idea what beta ratio means?

Fram didn't give any information except for physical size, so I didn't add Fram to this table.

Oil filter Beta Ratio = just off the top of my head? or copy & paste!!,,, :rolleyes::D

Filter ratings are an often misunderstood area of contamination control. The most commonly used rating is the Beta ratio, which is defined as the ratio of the number of particles upstream of the test filter versus the number downstream, greater than a given size. Using the Beta ratio, a 3 micron filter with a Beta 75 rating, will have on average 75 particles larger than 3 micron upstream of the filter for every one 3 micron or greater particle.

The efficiency of the filter can be calculated directly from the beta ratio since the % efficiency is simply (beta-1)/beta x 100. A beta 75, 3-micron filter is thus said to be 98.66% efficient at removing 3 micron and larger particles. It is important to note that a change in the beta rating from 75 to 200 at the same micron rating represents an increase of less than 1% in efficiency, but the beta 200 filter is more than 3 times more effective at removing 3 micron and larger particles than the beta 75 filter.

Wished I did write that but I didn't know that info. Good job Quig

Lenny

Good job,, sweet!! " Googled it, then copied & pasted it"" You guys know how smar,,dumb,,I am,,,,,,, Shut it,Rick!!!! :angry::blink::mellow::D

Another " dumb" question.. from Quig..

From Kinarfi"s info,,,,,,looking at cross references and noticed that the Napa Gold #1348 filter has a thread of 3/4-16 and my Trooper need a thread of 20-1.5

Ok, I've been using 1348, wrong threads,,, so now if I change to right threads,bigger filter,1347 is it going to thread on ok? or did I mess it up?

The two thread sizes are real close. I doubt you did any thread damage.

next time you change your oil, lay a bolt up against the threads of where the filter screws on. Use a bolt that you know has a 1.5mm pitch, that would be a 10, 12, 14 or 16mm and also try a 3/8-16 or a 3/4-16, then you will know for sure which thread you have.

Kinarfi

PS, they are real close, a 3/4-16 would be 19.05-1.5875mm I doubt you could do any damage if you used the wrong one.

Not all the parts will cross. Even though the thread pitch, size, etc, is correct, the Joyner filter adapter is just a few threads shy of long enough to reach the filter to fit Mazda branded under Bosch. I had two filters that should have worked, but they didn't. I used an old adapter from my 91 Nissan pickup, modified it slightly, and ran some -10 AN hose from it to a filter mount that holds two Fram PH8A filter elements. Pics are up in my gallery, can't post them in the thread itself.

What I just read said Wix makes Napa's filters for them. And the 1 I was using, gold 1215 is replaced now by 1348,,

Hi everyone, from the 1st time I changed engine oil I have been using NAPA Gold #1394 and never had a problem with them. I have 2 2009 troopers. I did hear that some owners were using Fram filters and they were coming loose. I too never liked fram oil filters. NAPA is a good filter to me anyway.

Any one know the O/S dimensions on the Wix 51348 ? My 2008 Trooper has a 3/4 x 16 thread pitch & is limited on the O/S diameter size due to the engine mount.

I'm using the Wix 51347 which works fine even though its a bit larger OD. It's twice as big as the stock filter.

      spits fuel from breather hose into the air cleaner and then down into carb.  What’s causing this ??
    • By Travis M
      Just purchased a T-Boss 760 and before putting any miles on it I'm going over all the fluids, grease and problem areas that I've read about online because I know the factory quality control is garbage. 
      I've seen where everyone seems to have leaking axle seals after 2-300 miles on the T-Boss 550 and 760. I think I'm going to switch from the bellow-style diff breather to the automotive style diff breather that they use on my Tacoma and various other vehicles. I'll still keep it extended and infact run it even higher, probably into the air intake box, but I'm hoping this is what's causing the axle seal leak issue on these vehicles.  
      I'll do the modification and report back every couple hundred miles and let you know. I currently only have 8 miles, so it will be a few months before I find out if mine leaks like everyone elses.

      Okay everyone, need some help here. I got my 2014 Bennche Bighorn 700 from my father inlaw. He has had it since new and as far as I know never had any problems with it until recently. It began with it being hard to start and having to give it some throttle for it to start up. Then it wouldn't stay running once it did start. If you go to start it, it will fire right off and only run for a split second and then die. If you give it some throttle it will start and stay running as long as your foot is on the pedal. While it's running its pretty rough and backfires. Here is a list of everything I've done so far. Initially I checked compression and it was low. I changed the cylinder, piston and rings. Took the head apart cleaned and laped the valves. Checked timing a few times. Adjusted the valves. New spark plug. Checked the air filter, it was fine. New battery. Changed the fuel pump because of a broken fitting. Changed the fuel filter, lines and fuel injector. Dumped the old fuel and put new in. Changed the air idle control, TPS, MAP sensor, Voltage Regulator, ECU and harness. I was getting codes 31, 107, 113 and 122 on the display. Once I changed the ECU no more codes have been displayed but still have the same issues. All fuses look good and as far as I can tell Grounds are good unless there are some I can't find. I'm at a loss here. Not really sure where to go. Compression was better after everything I did but I don't remember the numbers. I'll have to check it again if someone thinks that could be the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      **Disclaimer: Yes, I know Polaris and Kawasaki are SOOO much more better, reliable, retain their value, not made in China, etc. I need a UTV and don't have the money or financing for one of those units, so let's keep this discussion productive please**
      Hi all, learning about my new T-Boss 760 from TSC, and am trying to find the actual dip stick to check the oil, funnily enough.
      Does anyone have a picture of it or something? It's crazy that I can't find it...yet here I am.
      Also - any advice on oil? Manual says 15W/40 "SJ" but I'm told the SJ spec doesn't exist anymore.
      Gentleman at TSC said to use any 15W/40, but I'm very nervous about causing an issue this early on by using the wrong oil.
      Anyone have advice?
      Thanks!

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks
