Just did some checking and looks like the NAPA Gold cross reference for the WIX #51773 2qt filter is #1773. Anyone out there able to confirm? Just want for reference for the next oil change (which honestly won't be until after the new year, figure a 6 month OCI regardless of mileage (doubt I will hit more than 5k) is ok.
Are there any drawbacks to moving to a 2qt filter? I read on an RV forum they were suggesting that you add an extra qt. if you move to the 2qt filter. Is that safe?

Interesting?! And really without shipping the cost per quart is pretty reasonable at $5.79/qt.

I've always been told...Longer with more girth is better!

No, Diesel was a dirty grey/black/tan dog, so named because he was more or less the color of a cold start soot cloud.And his name is prolly, Diesel
Black dog is Reilly.
And he thinks the best lubricant is bacon grease. Maybe w/ ZDDP additive.
I noticed on my FJ62 that the oil filter is the exact same filter as a small block ford, pn and all (fram PH8A old style filter). Saved me some money in regards to the filters between my mach and my cruiser!

SBC has a different thread boss size (13/16).
FWIW, Ford was the first to mass-market with a disposable canister filter, which is why it is the world standard in use on Toyota, Nissan, Audi, VW, porsche, Volvo, etc....

i didnt mean to imply that i use fram filters! theyre just the easiest numbers for cross referencing! i only use them for target practice. theyre barely even good at that. its napa gold (wix) and baldwin for gunga din and all my other vehicles.
It seems the Castrol 20w-50 is the most popular oil for the 2F on this site. I wrote an email to Castrol this weekend and asked for their recommendation on the 2F.
Here is their response and falls in line with many of the thoughts posted in this thread.

At $9-10 a qt there are better choices out there, I think, anyway...

Yeah, the Mobil 1 15w-50 is one for sure. Wally Mart $25 for 5 at jug.
