oil filter fitment issues!! standard vs metric (PIC) research!! need a filter # cross
Oaky.. here it goes..
I have a 1991 XJ I6-5speed manual
1) the fram on the left came off the truck.. fits great.. and yes I know fram sucks
2) second from the left.. napa.. in the book as the right for the truck (dont know about napa filter quality)
3) the third from the left.. Mobil1.. is an oversized filter that is supposed to fit.. good quality filter.. added filter area.. = better filtration (i want to do this)
4) the orange fram on the right is the only fram I can find that is supposed to work..
------------------------------------------
#1 came out and goes back in great
#s 2-4 are supposed to work but only go on 1/4 turn
#2 is in the book as the right one
#4 is in the book as the right one
#3 is same width and thread size as 2 & 4
The consensus at this point is that I have the "old metric" style.. but the thread looks like a coarse thread on #1... and #s 2-4 look like they have a fine thread..
So my question:
Please help me find an up-sized mobil 1 with a thread like the Fram TG3985
thanks to any and all who can help
