I recently acquired a 1941 Ford Super Deluxe and have never seen an oil filter element like this. The side of the element has no holes and are instead located at the top and the bottom. All of the other elements I've been able to find for this era of Ford have them on the sides. Has anyone seen one like this and any advice of how to freshen the filter for the car? I imagine this is reusable...wondering if cleaning in gasoline would work. This message was edited by Shinton on 4-30-23 @ 12:41 PM

Yes, I have seen that style. No, you should NOT clean the filter and use it again. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Thanks, Mike. I won't  I can't find any of that style (probably aren't made like that anymore) but I'm thinking one with holes on the outer side of the element cylinder should work with the cannister. Do you agree?

Yes, the filters with the holes on the outer sh*ll work just fine. Mike "Kube" Kubarth

I appreciate the help! This Ford may be 82 years old, but new territory for me!

You want to do a google search on WIX filters --- they are out there

Thanks, Jay! I feel privileged to be the next to take care of it.

I think the Wix # is 51006 . I gave my local auto parts store the OEM # which is 7HA 6731 and they were able to corelate it to the Wix number. There was an earlier Ford # that had a 01A prefix and a different base number that was superseded. I have one of those but it would only be for display at this point.

Thanks! I got that same part and installed it. Now I just need to figure out where and why the canister is leaking (it was before the filter change).

One of the gaskets may be leaking. Sometimes the outer gasket (about 4 5/8" to 4 3/4" O.D.) is a little too small to properly fit in the lid. You might have to go to the NAPA Store to get a gasket that properly fits the lid and covers the top of the cannister. Use a little Permatex #2 on both sides of this gasket and the small gasket (about size of a washer) that fits between the bolt and lid of the canister.

And be sure to tighten down the bolt -- and I mean tighten down the bolt. Snug is not enough.

This is interesting; watched on utube a 6 cyl flathead Mopar priming the oil system then checking the filter without the cover and what a flow like 45lbs & we all know Ford has a .060 restrictor. Whats up with that????

Make sure there isn't an extra gasket in the canister top. ______________ No signature
