Oil Filters

[Ullr]

I have been looking around town for an oil filter that will fit the '40 for a while now. The parts books in the autoparts stores don't go back to 1976, but I found a Pennzoil book that lists a 1983 Landcruiser oil filter part. The SOR site lists only one oil filter for 3/69 - 4/96, so I'm assuming this Pennzoil filter will fit (part no. PZ-1). Its also only $4.

What brand/part no. oil filter do you use on a 1976 2f?

I uses a Wix 51515 on all my cruisers(cept the uzj) Napa Gold is the same filter.

cruisers use the most common filter made, its the same as a Ford truck.

This was discussed previously and I found this link to be very helpful for brand.

Hastings, wix, napa-gold and carquest are all really good. If you love your cruiser, stay away from the cheap filters.

napa 21515 i think

OEM for me,

15600-41010(big) or 90915-20004(small,less mess)

Say Dan, are those -20004's still available?

I'll add another vote for Napa Gold or Wix 51515, never had any problems and I've been told the same thing by many mechanics.

OEM 15600-41010 is my choice. Probably the best. Definitely the coolest. Gotta have a cool oil filter.

Yes and no.

They have been discontinued but I still have a private stash

OEM.

My older Cruisers get Napa Golds-51515. I used to put NAPA golds on my 80, but now have gone back to OEM. I have 6 of the 90915-20004's in my stash, but am currently running 15600-41010 on my 80 with no valve rattle. I had heard that you might get the rattle, so I got the big filter as an experiment and no rattle.

Everyone has probably tried different filters and has their favorites.
I've settled on the Purolator Premium Plus.

I believe the Pennzoil filters are Frams in disguise.

I have been using K&N HP-3001 for mine . It does a good job . About 10 bucks but it takes the beating .
