Oil Filter

[goldencub]

When installing the filter in the housing, which way is up?
One end of the filter has a plain "collar" for the bolt to go through, on the other end, that "collar" has a small "cuff" around it. My guess is that the cuffed collar goes down???
It's a NAPA 1153 filter. Thanks Al D

The bolt will only go through the filter one direction.

Cuffed collar goes down?

Correct

Is the NAPA 1153 filter the correct one for a 47 cub?

Yes, it fits all C-60 engines.

Question about the perforated paper cover on these oil filters. This paper cover stays on, right? You don't tear it off to expose the inner accordion like paper filter media, do ya? These covers USED to be metal... now they are just this perforated paper?

My first oil change of a 51 Cub is coming right up and wanted make sure I don't screw up putting the filter in!

Also... should I buy these from NAPA instead?

Thanks!

I use the NAPA 1153 because they are close, and periodically NAPA has a sale on them so I stock up. Theirs come with the rubber gasket, but make sure you have the copper washer installed between the cover and the bolt head, otherwise it WILL leak out the top. Also, make sure you clean well the gasket surfaces on the housing and the cover. When you start it up tbe first time, check for leaks.

Oh, and make sure you clean out the filter housing, including removing the drain tube cap (at the bottom of the filter housing) and ensuring it is clear. If it has been a while, you will probably need to use a long screwdriver to clear the gunk out of the tube.

Hi,
I posted at your other post also. The paper stays on the filter, use it the way it comes in your pic above.
