Bypass Oil Filters
 

For years I've used the NAPA Gold 1006 filter. Today I stopped by my local NAPA store to pick one up..... they're now $22 plus change. Yikes. I thought $14 a few years back was high.

Any suggestions for a quality alternative? I prefer buying local rather than Amazon when I can.... but wow, $22.

Order 4 and the price is $12 each. Free ship...and I try to shop locally too but I have limits to what percentage I will allow local stores to charge me.

Napa uses Wix filters. The Wix part number is 51006. They are very good quality filters but they can be purchased for less depending on where you look.

Rock Auto lists a price of $9.62 as long as they don't send an old shelf worn item that is miss packaged. I've had my ups & downs with them but I still purchase filters from them for the time being.

How often do you change filters? Once a month, every 6 months, once a year. For the convienence, 22 doesn't sound like much to me

I buy em by the case on ebay. They get pretty cheap then, and you always have one

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
 

ok $22 So what's a rebuild cost try buying one in AUS then whine got to remember each year the demand drops so the number made next year drops accordingly so the unit cost goes up Get inventive and find a common remote filter and adapt to suit, a full flow filter will work as long as you fit a suitable restrictor to the return

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
 

Even the ones that are available that use a spin-on filter have the restictor on the feed line not the return.

34PKUP what's it matter you have to control the flow placing the restrictor in the return stops anything clogging the restrictor and stopping the oil flow At the end of the day its whether the filter does its job that's important

A standard bypass filter does not like to be over pressurized and they were designed with the restrictor in the inlet to help prevent that.

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
 

Here is a popular bypass filter head. Note the restrictor is located in the filter outlet. Restrictors are normally located in the outlet side so they are less likely to become plugged.

Yes that is the way the Amsoil system is designed but the Ford canister as I stated does not like the oil pressure.
I am using the Amsoil bypass filter.

Restrictor is in the outlet

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
 

Yes,the typical spin-on bypass filter has a restrictor in the outlet which does make sense to avoid possible plugging. The original Ford canister however is in the inlet, which makes a leak at the top gasket and bolt much less likely since the can has somewhat less pressure to seal against. Both types make sense-just in different ways.
I chose to install a remote bypass filter on mine,and use a B50 Baldwin filter. It works well, is less messy to service and lets me see that pretty flathead engine a lot better since the filter is on the firewall.

Cadillac, tell me about the carburetor on that pretty engine.

Re: Bypass Oil Filters
 

That's a Rochester 2GV (from a '60's Chevelle ) mounted on a Merc manifold with the bowl to the rear so linkage lines up. It works great and the stock Merc choke thermostat operates the auto choke perfectly. I believe Tubman is running a similar setup on his shoebox Ford. They're a very nice carb.

Thanks. Also found this.... same filter, half the price of the NAPA
