In a few weeks my car (1941 Chrysler Royal) will come out of storage and be readied for the road. I expect it will be a good idea to change the oil filter as part of that. Reading up, I am told the prewar long-block sixes used a bypass oil filter, and the postwar ones used a full-flow filter. Trying to identify the right thing to order for my car, since it will likely have to be ordered from somewhere. Andy Bernbaum lists one filter element (https://www.oldmoparts.com/parts/l_engine/oil-filter/) for all Chrysler six and V-8 engines from 1933-57 (presumably bypass or full-flow)...is that correct? Otherwise doing a search here I've come across numerous different part numbers from Wix, NAPA, and other suppliers. (NAPA 1010 Gold, Wix 51070, 51080, etc) from people with different models/years. I'm confused...not sure if these are all equivalent or there may be different sizes depending on filter cannister. Engine of my car with oil filter cannister is in this pic...I suspect but have no way of knowing for sure if that's factory original, the car has 34,000 miles on it.
