JIPJOBXX Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 What oil filter designation number will work in my Flathead six 1942??????Thanks Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Posted March 21, 2007 Going to get the first oil change on my Dodge and I need that filter number. Quote
TodFitch Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Depends. If it is the disposable canister, they are no longer made. If it is the housing with replaceable elements, then it depends on the housing. Seems like NAPA1040 is a number that many people say work for them. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 Depends.

Seems like NAPA1040 is a number that many people say work for them. As Tod mentioned, if you have the one with replaceable elements it's not always the same size as other people. A lot of them were aftermarket. Some people also have filter canisters that were used on Ford and Chevy too, and those are different sizes. Best thing to do is measure your old element. Then when they pull it from stock at the store you can check the measurements and make sure it fits. Quote
Normspeed Posted March 21, 2007 Report Posted March 21, 2007 You could drain the old element, put it in a gallon ziplock and take it to the store for comparison. I got my last filter at Kragen, it was a fram. Next time I'll go with NAPA. In fact, once you know the right number, NAPAonline is excellent. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted March 22, 2007 Report Posted March 22, 2007 When I cleaned up my filter housing it was clearly marked as being made by the Deluxe Filter Co. and required a JC element. I looked in our Napa Master Filter catalog, in the cross reference setion, and found the listings for Deluxe filters and a cross for the JC element. They had to order it, but I had it the next day. I don't remember the number now, and am several hundred miles away from my manual where I kept record of the number. I guess what I'm saying is, if you can find any identification on your filter, take it to Napa and have them check their filter catalog for a cross. Merle Quote
