Oil filter for 1948 Plymouth?

[JFranklin]

Before I change the oil does anybody know the filter to use? Fram or Purolator number or something I can cross reference. Thanks.

These are often seen on ebay with starting prices from $31 to $57 to $71.  listed right now are these three on ebay (not mine)  172585751207  222104196780   311813762940  For your information these are all change up from the otiginal Chrysler number.   L 93, Chryso 861028; Ace X1/2; PB ½ P; AC P21; Purolator PER ½; and WIX WF1/2.

 C-1/2 replaces: AC-W1, 3, 7, 10, 13, 21; XG1, 2; XJ1; XN1;, 2; XP1, 2; Purolator EA4; E1/2; EA1/2; EF1/2; SA1/2; SAC1/2, SNC1/2; Champion 303. Fram P1/2. Pic 25; C5; D5.

These change ups are all the same except a couple of them are 1/8" larger and a couple are 1/8 smaller in diameter than the original..  Some have inlet and outlet on the same end and some have inlet and outlet on opposite ends.

Picture shows several that I have for sale.

I hope some of this information helps.

Do you have the replaceable  in  drop cartridge type oil filter element?

The style above is used too but $$$$ and a pain in the U-no-what to replace.

Fram C134A or NAPA equivalent  is what fits in my Plymouths and dodges up through 1954.

There were three different factory filters and a myriad of after market ones, so answering your question may need additional information. The factory filter information can be found at http://www.ply33.com/Parts/group10#10-C

Thank you guys, that is a lot of interesting information. I have an original replaceable element style. I think I will remove and measure the old cartridge and try Napa. Thanks again.

If you take out the old element the part # should be written on the top. Have a container ready, like a small pail with a plastic bag liner  or a large juice can. Lift the cartridge out and drop in the container. Wipe the top with a rag and you should see the make and number.

 

Suck out the left over oil and sludge with a suction gun or turkey baster. Wipe clean with rags or waste and drop in the new cartridge. Put the lid on with the new gasket there you are done.
