Kenneth Stewart Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I went to Advance to get a oil filter for my 39 Studebaker with no luck. They said try tractor supply but I have no number to ask for. Any of you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdon Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I posted on this in 2009- may have been wrong? I said F-3 or F-4. Now I am thinking F-1. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This car been a little work with little things. But it coming along.The F1 filter seems to be a fuel filer but the original Fram F1 filters were original equipment on 1936/37 Studebakers.The filter elements were C1 and are hard to find.Google Fram history and find interesting info including why not to use Fram filters,Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbk Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The original FRAM oil filter element was an F-4SFrom what I read is that Studebaker was the first to use Fram as original equipment and package filters with the Studebaker name on it but were regular F4 elements which were cotton stuffed.I have some of these in original boxes but I would not use these other than display. there are modern filters other than Fram that are better constructed .Robert Kapteyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Hello Kenneth,I have Fram C4 = Wix 51006 = Ryco R4P = AC 209 for my L5. 1/2" bolt hole, 4-15/16" long, 4-3/16" diameter, but you can measure that too.Here is an interesting page:http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/what-oil-filter-element-do-i-need_topic19963.htmlWhile it is about Willys, the filter sizes are given for some of the above, and there is a NAPA reference too.
