Im looking to buy a few for work... I aint wanting to buy a 41 pc set, when I will use maybe 5.
im looking at metal ones or cast aluminum. I have a couple of plastic ones I have worn out.
The problem is they list by diameter and # of flutes, not by application/filter number
Some list by car manufacturer but not which engines they work on.
Another issue is that for a given engine, an "equivalent" filter can take a different cap wrench.
MOST aren't for vintage Mopars but for newer (I'm sorry, this is what work has)
Looking for the cap that fits newer Fords (like FL500- Ford number) and FL820 etc...
plus of course the "8A" PH43, PH 16,
We have "Luber Finer" at work, I'll use these numbers, for the most common ones I'm needing... PH500, PH48, PH820, PH 253, PH 10064, PH 2835, PH400. Problem is ( for example, Ford FL500 is an equivalent filter to our PH500) but they have different number of flutes/flat spots.
I don't care if a given cap "fits Audi" or "fits BMW" or "fits GM" (there were MANY filters used on GMs, so which GM dos "that" one fit? and one that fits an AC branded filter may not fit an equivalent Purolator, etc.
Anyone able to help me on this?
Oh and Snap on (OK "Blue point") offers a set (30-some piece set) for $280, looks identical to a set I see all over Ebay for $40-something...... of course I'd rather have US made, Canada made, maybe German made,.... I want to avoid Chinamade or Taiwan made like a plague.
