Swear57 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I acquired a 27 Buick Standard. I now have the car running & going to change the oil & filter today, maybe. Does anybody have a part # for the canister filter. I have not pulled it out yet. Thanks Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Jim, Different filters were used and owners changed the canisters as well. Can you post a photo. Some of these original filters had potmetal parts and should not be used. Hugh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swear57 Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Here are the pictures. This looked a combination of mud & tar. Where would you find a filter. Thanks Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I would check NAPA for a possible replacement. They usually do quite well for obscure parts. What is the number under MODEL on the right? Also, Luber-Finer is still in business. Here is their website. Call them. https://luberfiner.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryLime Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Have you removed the oil pan for a cleaning yet ? The filter looks like the pan is overdue for cleaning . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert_25-25 Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) Jim, This is the filter removed from the 1926 Buick Master that I have at my house. Notice the cracking in the pot metal at the hose connections. This will not be reinstalled. How does the rest of the filter housing look? I agree with dropping the pan as well and cleaning it out before restarting the car again. I have seen a lot of failed oil screens on the oil pick up. There are several spin on type oil filters and flanged brackets available on websites like Summit. My plan is to mount this on the back side of the rear engine mount where it is basically unseen, and run tubing to and from the block to the filter.

Brian_Heil Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Many if not most of the early Jeep catalog suppliers have a nice oil filter set up available. Here’s one as an example 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swear57 Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 Good thing I pulled the pan. The pan itself wasn’t bad but the screen is full of sludge. The inside of the engine looks good as will. We did find a filter on line. I will get gaskets ordered Monday. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuickTom87 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 The filter looks just like how the one on my 41 did.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Engle Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 None detergent oils of the past are the big culprit in causing this sludge. I would worry about the oil distribution tubes having this crude in them also. Detergent oil came on the scene in the 50S along with multi viscosity oil.

Swear57 Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 I got everything cleaned up including the oil distribution tube today. Gaskets from Olson Gaskets will be here the 22 the oil filter the 28th. A/C Delco Part # C2030 Should be here the 28th. Should I be using a detergent oil & what weight?
