Oil filter for New Holland 2120

[Zerk]

Closest one napa has is Denver. $28 plus shipping.

Do ford dealers have tractor filters or do I need to go to new holland? 50 miles away.

I have a 1993 Ford 2120. Filter is parallel to crank. Oil filter #s I wrote down are Motorcraft FL-300 or Napa 1329. Those are a few years old but should be right. If you need a pic, let me know.

How many quarts of oil? Manual says 8.5 with filter. A thread said that was wrong.

ford hasn't been with new holland in a loooong time.

that said.. there are many 'truck' filters that will fit many OLD ford tractors. ( motorcraft fl1a type filter is common on OLDER machines ) .. but for those .. it's cheaper to just hit walmart or the auto store.

I realized that, that is why I asked, and why before someone gave a Ford part #, I never thought of calling them. But then I thought maybe they support some old stuff. One of the filters listed for one Ford model fit Lexus, and other vehicles.

New Holland dealer can get one, will be here in by Tuesday, $29. Might as well go factory, no shipping that he mentioned. I figure even they got something else on there when I get there, the mount should be the same.

$29 for a filter!!!!
I was thinking when I find out it fits I should order a few, but then I did the math. I am curious if something else fits thats cheaper.

Baldwin on internet $14
Another site has Wix for $11.

Have to read up on filters, and find a company with good shipping rates. I don't mind spending the money, it just seems alot for an oil filter. I realize they are critical, I usually pay for the high performance ones, even though I don't know if do anything. But a Mobil 1 filter for my truck is $12.


Not to open a can of worms, any opinions on brands, or ones that consider cheap? I usually just buy big box store truck filters, so I never heard of some of these.

I think 8.5 qts is correct. I can look in my manual but that sounds right. I like having a lot of oil in there, except at buying time.

I think some of the confusion is different engines. I am bringing to gallons of oil.

I thought about putting in 3.5 quarts and checking dipstick. But it creeps me checking at 1/2 full. People in this thread say it will be running out the starter. I was hoping to hear from someone with a Shibura diesel.

8.5 quarts.
No, I don't own one. But I've done more oil changes on 2120's than just about anyone that does own one.
