spin on oil filter

Does anybody know how this setup works

 

Thanks Timgr for the picture.

 

where can i get it ? I do not have nothing right now . no filter or lines Howard .

 

Yeah. The inverted spin-on seems like a mess waiting to happen. Depends on how effective the drain back valve in the spin-on is. A Fram spin-on would likely be dry . You can use a turkey baster or battery bulb (old school!) to remove some of the oil from the canister, so you don't dribble so much when you remove the cartridge.

 

No problem - not my Jeep - just an example that I picked from eWillys.

 

I have seen canisters with drain valves. Just not on Jeeps. Seems like it might be a worthwhile mod.

 

I have seen the canister style with drain plugs as well. I just can't remember if it was on the MB or my Buick.

 

I'll have to go look, maybe that's where I saw it. It's been a while.
I was thinking of my Ford 8N having it, but I get confused easily. And have too many vehicles.

 

On my Jeep the filter drains it's self, when I change the oil there is no mess. The filter you want is a Wix 51050, it has two little holes out to restrict the oil, like Howard says. I think the oil drains down on the timing gears when it sets. The oil line comes out from the gallery by the fuel pump goes to the filter and returns to the top of the timing cover for the timing gears.

 

thanks i will try wtb. any suggestions on what will work best

 

Are you saying the canister drains completely, by itself?

In my experience they remain 2/3 full - okay for changing the element without mess, but not enough to clean the nasty sludge at the bottom.

 

Gotcha. My mistake, I was thinking of the Wix 51010.

 

I was talking about the spin on, Glenn. When I change my oil there is no oil in the filter, it doesn't spill oil everywhere like some filters.
