Filter difference on 425

I had an uncle that repaired antique clocks all of his life. I was fascinated with his basement workshop.

Thats cool. Yeah, it seems like most watchmakers have there business' at their home. I never heard the term "swaging" until learning about this stuff. This technique is used for making a piece fit extra, extra tight.

I will be looking for other filters, "other then the Subaru one" the next time I go through all 4 that I ordered. I also will NOT recommend Jack's Small Engines. I thought he had them in stock. Well, I guess that is what happens when I think :laughing:.

My card was charged, and I was sent an email when I ordered it telling me of when they would be shipped, of which I haven't gotten anything, charged $10 for shipping, and it is less then 50 miles from where I live. Good thing I wasn't in a hurry, and already had one.

Josh, tell me how the filters work out for you, as I saw a lot of 6 or so for around $20 with free shipping. Live and learn I guess.

I sure will Jeff. Those FRAM XG series would give us the best filtration with the Mobile 1. I'll keep that in mind about Jack's Small engines, thanks.

I wrote them a note tonight, and told them it has been a week, I am less then 50 miles away, they have charged my card for a product I don't have, and don't see it coming in to them until next week at the earliest, so see what they say. Leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, and will remember for future orders, and where NOT to buy things.
The Fram filters sound good, and from reading about them, the XG series sounds like it should really filter a lot out. Get some hours on your machine, so you can change the oil with one and tell me how it works.

I was informed in an Email when I got home that the Stock Subaru one is back ordered, and could be the 10th or later. I wish I knew for sure that the Fram TG4967 would fit, and I would go ahead and order some.

 

[joshlee]

Yeah, your guess is as good as mine? Yesterday, I just finished up the hand controls. I'll get some pictures next week. So, how much did the temp. drop on your engine since using the fan?

I just put a Fram, ph4967 on my PT 422 with a Robin Subaru engine. Seems to work find. I ran it for 30 minutes today. I thing the TG is just a different grade.

 

[joshlee]

That was the right number he gave me then. Thanks for letting us know that. :thumbsup:

Here are the Fram XG4967 filters (used for synthetic motor oil) for sale from the Fram wholesale business up my way. They have always given me good business.

Thanks Josh, once I use some of these True Subaru filters up I will go for the Fram, but that could be a few hours down the road, I think I have 4 filters now

Yep, a 5 quart jug of Mobile 1 and a few oil filters on hand makes for a happy PT
