Aftermarket oil filter screw on question

[Mike476]

any machine I get that has a factor cannister with cartridge.. i leave it on. it's thicker metal than a spin on.

i HAVE had a spin on poked or dented by a stick before. some just cosmetically.. some enough to make the seal leak. IMHO.. canister is better setup./ thicker metal..e tc. your call. probably such a close % issue anyway will lielky not make a useable differance.

I think that's sound advice. I'd hate to have something like that happen that could cause damage if unnoticed running it in the woods all day, for no other reason than convenience.

Think I'll stick with what she's got. I think this would be a better option if you're using it primarily as an ag tractor where the risk of damage to the filter would be low and the hours racking up.

any thing.. goes without saying.. but glancing at the oil -p gauge every once in a whilehelps too..

:laughing: True nuff, mind you it doesn't take long to drain the oil from an engine with a hole in a filter, driving through woodland often has you focusing on keeping the rubber side down and avoiding obstacles when skidding logs.

ive never measured surface area of media in a machine that had cartridge or spin on media .. but guess I could on next oil change. for instance.. a napa 1452 and a 1004 are spin on and cartridge filters for common ford tractors from 55-64 I have plenty of each type machine ( fram # ph8a and ch6pl ).. next oil change I'll cut can and delampinate filter media to measure surface area.
