  • Engine: Partial Flow Oil Filters

    I very rarely Start a New Post here, usually just trying to help answer other people's questions.
    But "Edsel Face", Bing in Calif. brought up a good question about adding a Filter to his 170 Champion Engine. The more I thought about adding a reasonably Good, Original Fram Type Bi-pass Filter, I just could not fail to mention the BEST Partial Flow Filter available.
    So I wrote the following and deleted it from this string where his Post is:
    https://forum.studebakerdriversclub....il#post1877553
    because it was in the "Detergent Oil String", and not directly related or a Good Title for this.

    There are lots of discussions here in Tech. or maybe in "General", about "Partial Flow Oil Filters". There HAS to be one about installing one on a Champion Engine SOMEWHERE, if you use different Search Words.

    Here is one (Below) about the Spin-on Type used on 1958 to early 1962 Studes. they use a replaceable Fram PB50 or other better, Cross reference WIX, NAPA, Purolator, Baldwin, or Hastings Filters.
    These will also work on Older Engines.

    There should be one about installing the drop-in Canister type used '47 to 1957 as well.
    Those are Fram F3 smaller, used on Champions, and F4 used on Commanders and some Champions.
    They use the Fram C3 and C4 respectively Filter Elements or the above Brands, higher quality Filters.

    Any one of these Fram or "Other" Filters will help keep your Engine and it's Oil Cleaner than without.

    Myself, if I am going to bother installing a Bi-pass type Filter I always choose the BEST.
    I run Frantz Tissue Paper filters that Filter down to 1-2 Microns and absorb water as well.

    Believe it or not, with the very Large number of Diesels now on the road the need to save huge amounts of Oil has become a concern again, so a New Co. the Frantz Division of "Hot Shot's Secret" has begun Producing an improved version of the Original Frantz Oil Cleaner and can save a Lot of Oil by extending or eliminating Oil Changes with more often Filter changes and adding a Quart to replenish Detergents and Additives depleated.

    They have Custom made Kits to fit Ford Powerstroke, Cummins and and GM Duramax Diesels as well as "Universal" Kits for Older Cars.

    Here is a String about Filters that includes a Link to a "Tony the Tool Man" Video showing installing a Spin-on Type on a V8 to replace a Canister Type.

      Thank you for sending this information. In my search on this topic I found instructions on adding a filter for OHV 6 and V 8 but nothing, yet, on the 170 motor.

        Here is some help about where it goes, to install just screw the lines in and Bolt it on.

        This one may be one of the Best,
        After a Three Hours of searching for these, I still can't find the one that actually Shows installing one on a Flathead, but they ARE very Basic.

          Several years ago, I installed a spin on filter assembly removed from a 1962 OHV 6 and installed it on a 1950 Champion engine. I had no problem mounting the filter assembly on the left rear corner of the engine, but I did have to bend up a couple of oil lines to make everything work. NAPA also has a universal partial flow filter adaptor but mounting and plumbing are left up to the installer and it will also need a restrictor installed on the inlet side. Bud

              My latest engine has both the full flow, and the partial flow. Since the breathers are a pain in the tookus to add oil, I added the filler tube/breather.
              I figure extra clean oil can't hurt anything.
              By the way, this engine is for sale complete as you see it.
              PM me for details.

                  As is my 170ci 59 Lark - see fixture at left rear of head.

                  A ~3/16” hydraulic line is teed off of the oil pressure switch (see “before” pic!) and enters the fixture.

                  The output flow from the filter drains into the base of the oil filler tube as seen in “after” pic.

                      I understand hat you were referring to Post #7 that is not applicable but, did you click on the Posts I linked about Flatheads in Post #4?

                        I did indeed. This motor is in good condition, doesn't use oil, and runs well. Don't know the mileage as the odometer was inoperable which I have had fixed. I know oil filters were an option but it's funny that someone would opt out for what was probably a $ 4.00 option. The build sheet says it went from South Bend to North Dakota (this a '51 Champion Regal Deluxe) . Didn't arrive in California until 2003. No Rust! Amazing. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge. I do enjoy supporting my local mechanic, so I hope to commission him to undertake this endeavor,

                            NOT picking Nits... A FACT; V8 Instructions will not help with a 6Cyl.

                            Wrong again, these Filters are also sold as "Universal Kits" for Gasoline Engines, mostly Older Engines with easier Installation, available In and Out Oil sources and the needed space.

                            Just trying to Help the Man Bez, not fight with you, so please don't start this stuff, I don't need a Troll.

                              Ummm. who mentioned post #7. How is it under the bridge? must be cold and damp.

                              I responded to YOUR statement of an ADDED ADDITIONAL filter that diesels used. And later you even posted "wrong again"???? Who is the troll?
