Fram C31PL for Military Senior oil filter
Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2014 1:03 pm
Seems like the FRAM C31PL is a good match for the WIX 51503 filter:
Amazon lists them for $9.44 and while this might seem high compared to other online sources, if you have Amazon Prime they are shipped free.
While the C31PL is slightly wider (4.5 vs 4.0) measuring an Military Senior oil filter can's diameter will accept the 4.5in filter with about 1/16th on the sides. The only other issue is that the lid gasket with the new filter may not fit... but lid gaskets really don't go bad unless you over torque the lid.
The real savings is the Prime Shipping. 4 53503's from fleetfilter.com shipped is $52.78 while 4 C31PLs from Amazon Prime is $37.76 saving $15.00
And before anyone says that fram filters suck because of some idiotic web site had a 'review' of them don't even start... the idiots that do those 'cut apart' reviews have no idea what they are talking about. PERIOD.
