 Subject: 4.7 oil filter
IP: Logged
Message:
I want to use a bigger oil filter on my dakota. The stock one is prety stubby. i jsut want one with bigger volume but still to fit on there correctly. Anyone know of a different oil filter that fits on the threads and seals correctly but has more volume inside. All i seem to find is the remote oil filters systems for dual filters that cost a arm and a leg
thanx
Rob

I've done this trick for years on other Mopars, even the old 2.2 4-cyl. You can find a cross-reference for your favorite, but basically what you are looking for is a 1970's style 318 filter. It has the same threads, mounting gasket ring, but is about 50% bigger. Match up a Autolite 20, Fram 43, or Pennzoil 34 to find your favorite.

The filter that the other guy mentioned does not have the anti drain back valve. I you want a bigger filter you may want to see if the Fram PH8A or equivalent will fit on your Dakota

If you want a good filter at a good price get the MotorCraft FL1A. Their are better filter but you can not find a better deal off the shelf. It is the same Puralator Pure one filter element that Puralator charges $6-$10 for in a slightly cheaper metal can. So you are getting a premium filter for $2.57 cents!! You can get them at Walmart! If you want even better get the Baldwin B2HPG for $6 it will smoke the $10 filters!!! For anything better you will need to go the bypass filter route!

The stock one is plenty big enough for that engine if
you are using synthetic oil (I use the AMSOIL).

Most of the people I know at the track "are" using synthetic oils and soon we will all be doing so because that is the way the auto industry and the EPA is going.

I change the oil so often, a good conventional oil is just fine for me. Just personal preference.
I couldnt justify an oil change beyond 30 bucks. I hate black oil!

And I thought the FRam wasn't a good filter, via studies reports.

10-4 on the Fram, texastodd. I haven't used them myself in about 10 years. I just mentioned #43 for a sizing reference.
