1987Comanche Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 As you know the Renix 4.0s have the oil filter mounted vertically & the predictable result is that the oil drains out of the filter when you shut the truck down. My '90 doesn't particularly like that and rattles, etc for about 5 sec when you restart. I'd like to find a filter with a good anti drainback valve to combat that as I can't imagine it's good for the motor. Suggestions? My 2nd option would be to put a later HO adapter on and mount the filter 90 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 what have you tried so far? Far as I can tell, with oil filters you do get something for your money. Buy a decent one like Wix or Mobil 1 and you should get good internals. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Purolator and Bosch so far. I looked at the Carquest (Wix) filters and the expensive ones have a spring inside. I asked the guy what pressure it takes to overcome the spring (I only have 10psi at hot idle) and he didn't know. Also the Carquest filter was $7.25 so I thought I'd get a 2nd opinion and more info first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 i've used wix on everything i own including my cummins diesel. I have a wix on my Renix XJ now and it seems to be alright. I do have to change the oil soon, and i bought a actually mopar filter for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987Comanche Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Which Wix? Is it the basic one with the black anti-drainback or the more expensive one with the red anti-drainback and spring in the center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKB3 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (I only have 10psi at hot idle) sounds like your problem is not the oil filter :???: :eek: :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
