Replacement Oil Filter

[Gary L.]

Just picked up a 1959 vette 283, have the winter to go over vehicle. Before I put any miles on the vehicle a few thing I want to deal with, one of which is replacing the fluids, service wheel bearrings etc. at this point engine oil and filter. Which is the recommended replacement # oil filter and spark plug type # and which supplier would be recommended.

Thanks in advance,

Re: Replacement Oil Filter

Has your new 1959 been converted to a spin on type filter?

Jim,
I will be picking the car up on Monday, as it is all original I do not suspect it has been converted from the cartrige to the screw on filter. I may be wrong, in which case if you had information for both filter types, I couldn't go wrong.

Thanks,
Gary

Larry,
Thats great, I will confirm the oil filter type on Monday, however I beleive it is the cartridge type on this car. The spark plugs I will stick with the R45 or the R45S stay with the proven. Again that most helpful.
Thanks,
Gary
