Oil filters

I have been looking at different options on filter set ups.

I allready have the 90deg adapter, so if I could use it, it would be good.

The trouble is all the filters are about 3.6" in dia and won't quite fit.

I found these on summits web site, but they don't have an anti drain back valve. With the filter needing to be horizontal I would think it would need one.

I presume the anti drain back valve sops the filter from emptying if not verticle and the fitting surface at the top.
The K&N is very expensive as well.

Any help appreciated.

With the 90 degree adapter ( OLD FORD ECONOLINE) if you rotate it about 270 degrees and use a FORD CAPRI V-6 filter, works GREAT. REFERENCE CAT SHOP NOTES. When changing the filter pop A hole on the bottom to drain. EASY!

The capri filter comes up as the same part# as the windsor. The 90deg adapter is a Ford motorsport part. Perhaps it's different than the econoline ?.

Does that mean a WIX 51515 should work? It's listed as the oil filter for the V6 Capri.

Problem solved.

Thanks chirodoc.

The K&N Ph 2009 has the by pass and anti drain back as well.

Cheers Mal

I'm hoping to replicate your solution Tamer!

See attached the current setup on my target vehicle. I feel fairly confident the adapter will fit in place the current filter (which is only a 2"). The adapter I think is a total of 2.4" but that's at it's centre point so I think it will likely clear the header.

Thanks for the PM exchange! As you can see I am now "live" on the forum!
