I want to say early rabbit, but I am unsure. If you search the bus forum, some people were just talking about it, and of course saying not to use fram filters. Wix or napa gold, but I already knew that part from my watercooled days

I'm using a K&N, this was recommended to me. I can get you the number if you want Brian.
Don't use a regular Fram! I've heard that there are issues with the run-of-the-mill Pep Boys, Smucks, Wal*Mart cheapie Fram oil filters.

PH8A also works, but is not high pressure designed and I've "heard" of them bursting. I use the HP1 myself.

I think I have one that has been removed out in the shop that still has the filter installed.
I can go look at it.
BTW, did you know that a lot of the filters on the market all come off the same assembly line. Just different colored paint or stamp in the printer.

Huh.  I've had HP1s since I've gotten the Notch running and no issues. The kit from GB even came w/ one.
I've got a MANN filter (German made) in the garage....the number on the box: W 940/25. Don't know if that helps.

That's probably it. I don't start my car when it's cold.

if you cut up a fram filter, then go cut up a wix or napa gold filet, you will see why not to use a fram. they are junk, cardbord string and glue.. the relief valve is the main issue. Mann is a much better filter, wix or napa gold is the way to go, and they are not expensive

looks like the NAPA filter is FIL 1452. I will be picking one of those up this week! Thanks for the Mann #, that helped!

Glad to be of service. I picked up the MANN for the next oil change [on the Notch] the last time I was in our local ACVW parts store.

This guy likes the HP1:
http://www.aircooledtech.com/oil_filter/
I've been using HP1 since the day Gene Berg sent me one in my kit. Never an issue and seems to be doing it's job. I also run the Berg pressure relief valve so over-pressure isn't an issue for me in the cold...and my oil gauge proves it as well

better parts are better parts, fram is not owned by the company as it was back in the day. here is a long list of types, plus pics of them disassembled, etc http://www.knizefamily.net/minimopar/oilfilters/opinions.html

Yeah, I've seen that page and others. He does recommend HP1 for [Mopar] racing applications. Unfortunately, he doesn't have flow data, only observational.

One thing that he does not mention, and he may not be aware of it, but Mahle now owns Dana/Wix, and they also own Mann.
Most of their oil filters are assembled in China now.
We shipped a complete oil filter line that came out of Murfreesboro, TN last year to China.
Champion Filters is owned by a big conglomerate known as UCI. A competitor to Mahle.
