Sactownog Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 This is the oil filter on my 1933 Dodge, I need a new one because I am sure this filter is in need of replacement. I am not sure how many miles these filters go before having to be changed, car has 36,000 miles on engine. not sure when last was changed. the engine is a 1953 Dodge 230, can anyone point me in the right direction to get a new filter?
Sactownog Posted July 27, 2018 Author Posted July 27, 2018 Any help finding a new filter would be great,
keiser31 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Try G & G Moparts in Colton, California. (909)825-1231. A friend told me he got filter stuff from Roger the parts guy. 1

Spinneyhill Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 There is a PER-1/2 on eBay at the moment. It should do the job.

Spinneyhill Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 That would probably do. But it is this one. I would love it for my 1930 DC - inlet and outlet can be in the same end - but (cost + shipping) x 1.5 currency change is too much for me. https://www.ebay.com/itm/NORS-OIL-FILTER-1930-1959-CHRYSLER-DODGE-DESOTO-KAISER-NASH-PLYMOUTH-PER-1-2/113068729636?_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D52935%26meid%3Dfca7cf005edb49e186e138bf83060445%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D312123572050%26itm%3D113068729636&_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1
Uptowndodge Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Sack, what you want to do? Get one these guys are recommending or get one $20-$39 cheaper? Nice guys that see me offering you one for $30 and yet they feel like helping you out with a tip of the day. I don't get Mopar bro's!!!!
Guest Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Would any of these help you? 1 Chryco oil filter red with decal 2 Atlas C20 filter gold with decal 3 Atlas C20 filter gold with decal 4 Champ C ½ red with box 5 Handi black with box 6 ??? grey with bracket 7 Atlas inlet and outlet on opposite ends According to listings on ebay these filters replace L 93, Chryso 861028; Ace X1/2; PB ½ P; AC P21; Purolator PER ½; and WIX WF1/2.

Fram P1/2. Pic 25; C5; D5. WIX WF5 white with decal.
Sactownog Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 Tinindian YES, thank you, what would you be willing to part with the WIX WF-5 filter, that looks like the current one I have.
jpage Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 Replacement can filters were widely available a few years back but seem to have been obsoleted recently. I would recommend finding a replacement cartridge unit which makes changing the filters easier and the replacement cartridges are easier to locate.
cahartley Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 You already have something that's beyond obsolete. How about something like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Accessory-Oil-Filter-Canister-All-38-59-216-235-6-Cyl-Engines-USED-/323299249016 Uses a Fram C4 element.......at least the one on my '59 Chevy does.
Spinneyhill Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 The Fram C4 was very common too. But the cartridges are not that plentiful around here now either and the price makes your hair curl.
cahartley Posted July 31, 2018 Posted July 31, 2018 ^ Interesting. Up here in the states they're still fairly common and not obscenely expensive. You should be able to get them fairy reasonably from ebay with the international shipping option.

Yes, I would part with any or all of them. You probably didn't notice that the WIX WF-5 is about 1/3 the size of the others. It is 3 1/2 wide and 4 1/4 tall.
Pete in PA Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 The link to the AC filter on ebay provided some very useful info for me. We have a customer at the shop who owns a restored 1949 International KB2 and it has the "hang-on" oil filter setup. Both fittings on the short length of tubing between the bottom of the filter and the engine block were seeping oil. It seems that changing the filter can cause leaks because the brass fittings take an impression of the tubing flare (especially if over-tightened) and upon reinstallation a slight mismatch between the fitting and the pipe causes a leak. Well that ebay auction included a pic of a "caution" illustration describing how you install a short screw in the elbow fitting at the bottom of the filter before trying to unscrew it from the filter. It keeps the soft brass elbow from distorting or collapsing. Very helpful info!

Sactownog Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 well after looking for a while for a new replacement filter, I found an OIL Filter Canister off a 1934 Dodge pickup at a local wrecking yard, I restored the can and painted it, got a new filter and got it hooked up to the same location the old filter was on. lots of cursing later, and here is what it now looks like. 3
Spinneyhill Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Nice. What was the original "carburetor silencer" (with minor air cleaning function) like?
Sactownog Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 I still have the original air filter bath that was on the motor, it is large round and black. I like it but it constantly leaves oil around the rim of the carburetor and is very restrictive. I usually only put it on for shows, but I cruise around San Diego with the screen filter. it also makes a cool sound now.
Sactownog Posted August 13, 2018 Author Posted August 13, 2018 I have thought about relocating the oil filter to the firewall or somewhere more convenient to clean up the engine, but that would take away from the originality of the engine.
Spinneyhill Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 2 hours ago, Sactownog said: it also makes a cool sound now. I used to drive my Studebaker to the sound of the carburetor. Kind of like a cistern coming to a stop when you gradually life your foot! 1 1
Sactownog Posted August 14, 2018 Author Posted August 14, 2018 these motors are fun to listen to, way more interactive than the new age motors / prius. lol 1
