tdrix Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Where can an oil filter be purchase, manual says it has a filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictator27 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 At that time oil filters were optional equipment. If there is no canister bolted to the side of the engine, it doesn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtech Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 As far as I know the filter is standard on the 27. The filter is a unit. it can only be cleaned. Some have converted them to a real filter and can tell you how. I have not. They are not a full flow, they just tap into the oiling system for the valves if I remember.

Swear57 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 My 27 Standard has a Luber Finer canister. It takes a A/C Delco C3020 filter. I have crossed it to many other filters & can’t find one. Submit Racing says they have 2 in the pipeline but I have been waiting for 2 months. If you find any let me know please. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critterpainter Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yes the 27 Buick had a factory oil filter that mounted to the firewall. I believe there was a bracket on the firewall with 4 bolts and the filter assy mounted to this bracket. check with Bobs Automobilia in Calif as I believe they have reproduction assemblies that have a modern filter inside 805 434 2963 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidden_hunter Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 26 I think had a one year only flat rectangular filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterpainter Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I don't believe that one is being reproduced, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Is that a paper element filter or a metal mesh filter? If metal, it could possibly be cleaned with solvent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterpainter Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Think of it as a modern replaceable filter. Metal housing with fabric and wire mesh inside. Most originals have rusted from the inside out. Because of the rectangular shape it is not practical to fabricate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swear57 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 It is metal outside with fabric inside. Bobs sell a reproduction with a modern filter inside. Over $300. I have also found that Then & Now back east has a Wix filter sitting on the shelf. A discontinued part # that's supposed to work. I ordered it we will see. Thanks for all the help Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave39MD Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Luberfiner was primarily a HD truck filter company and is still a brand. I would also try Baldwin and Hastings if the Wix doesn't work. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critterpainter Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 Dodge used a sealed oil filter on some of its vehicles from about 1934 to 1954. It had a fitting on the top and bottom that was unscrewed and a new filter put in its place. This was a very popular replacement for many antique cars including Buick when the originals were discontinued. Unfortunately this filter is now discontinued too. It was MoPar # 861028 Many different companies supplied this style filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
