Put on the Spin On Filters Today!

[dabtl]

Put the jatonka spin on oil filters today. They look good and the oil pressure seems to come up quicker. A neat installation.

Now, if only John would make spin on secondary fuel filter adapters, it would be a snap to change the filters. Hint!

Pictures!!!! PLEASEEE!!!!

 

[dabtl]

I will try to take some tomorrow. If you have not gotten them yet, do so. You are kind of new here, so they have been photo'd before. Just look great and for eight full hours have worked fine.

I will let you know how good they are in a couple of years.

dabtl - I bought a set of spin-on adapters from jatonka too, but I have not installed mine yet. Did paint the adapters before you installed them?

I just put them on all nice and shiny. Kind of like putting a nice necklace on a lady to doll her up.

One could argue that it is a little like lipstick on a pig.

I guess I would paint them.

Pics, not the greatest but it was starting to rain.

 

[McVeyMac]

They look great. Do they come with O rings to seal the lower flange?

Do those filters have the same flow specs as the cartridge ones?

 

[bigmike]

Looks great.

 

[dabtl]

They came with the gaskets to adapt the fittings. The filter is better than the older ones and the flow rate is unchanged as I under stand it.

Pressure seems to come up quicker due to the filters holding the oil rather than it draining into the crankcase when stopped.

 

[sailor2000]

How do they hold the oil?????????????

 

[dabtl]

The old filters simply drain back after the engine stops. These hold oil after the engine stops. Anti-drain back, I suppose you could dall it. At any rate the filters do not have to refill every time the motor is started to have pressure build up.

Good idea.

ARe the filters a napa number?

 

[dabtl]

This was covered in some detail here: http://steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=11823&highlight=spin

There is a NAPA number but I use Wix because the O'Reilly is closer than NAPA. Same filter number with some additional as a Wix number.

 

[sailor2000]

Thanks!

 

[dabtl]

The Wix number is 51458 for the oil filters. The NAPA number is 1458

My spin-ons from jatonka will be installed this weekend. I just purchased the NAPA filters and will post pics of mine as well. The quality of the work is really excellent.

And another filter available is Baldwin BT-124. It filters at advertised 12 Micron rating. The company tells it's dealers that it is a 10 Micron rated filter. Anti drainback is the correct term, dabtl. And I'll work on the secondary and final adaptors. John Tennis
