55 Fairlane oil filter choices

[paul2748]

Personally, I found that the spin on has little advantage over a canister type. Both are messy and will spill oil when loosening, the spin on maybe a little less so. After two tries with an aftermarket spin on adapter, I went back to the canister. No problems after that. But currently, both of my YBlocks have the spin on added by the engine builders.


The canister type is more eco friendly.

Plus shipping = another 6 to 8 dollars most likely.

Paul, the reason for that exercise was to demonstrate price shopping. Once the product you are searching for is found, you simply PRICE SEARCH. It is no mystery, well, to most anyway.

I really appreciate your using all caps in our last exchange as my batteries were going low and I didn't want to miss any BITS of WISDOM you post here often that you are so well know for ...

Don't Forget -

If it doesn't fit get a BFH. It still won't go, get a BIGGER FKN HAMMER and possibly a HOT WRENCH.

!!! OH !!!

While I am waiting for my morning MIDOL to cut in and drawing my CALGON BATH ...

The only way to determine if a spin-on out performs a cartridge style filter is with an OIL ANALYSIS, not it "looked so much cleaner after a drain".

Same with motor oils, especially diesel oils in a gasoline engine.There are differing ratings on filter medias.

Only SUPERMAN (maybe also ULTRA-MAN) had spectographic eyeballs.

Shipping always has to be considered when purchasing something that has to be sent to you.

I believe it comes under the term 'PRICE SHOPPING', a subject brought up before.

A question came to my mind when thinking about the differences in spin-on and canister filters. Does the canister type have a by-pass? Does either type provide oil flow to a cold engine faster?
