KSjeepguy88 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I work at a local auto parts store, I was looking through our system and found a bigger filter that fits the 4.0ls Stock filter: wix 51626 New filter : wix 51182 They both have... 21 micron rating M20x1.50 thread 2.462" gasket inside diameter. 3.663" bottom outside diameter The ONLY difference is the "51182" is 5.207" tall and the stock "51626" is 3.812" tall Hope this helps someone someday...

Eagle Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 In choosing any alternate filter for the Jeep engines, be sure the substitute has an anti-drainback valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyaji Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Good info. I always like using a taller filter on any vehicle that has room for it. There are a couple advantages: more filter element means not only greater filtration capacity, but also less oil pressure drop; and the taller filter is easier to change next time around because it's easier to get ahold of. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactical Bacon Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I can attest to Purolator, Napa/Wix, K&N, and Mobil 1 using silicone anti-drainback valves in their filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GirsMJ86 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Dang, wish I had know about this. Just got myself a new WIX 51626, guess I'll make note for next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockfrog Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I swapped my Renix nipple for an HO nipple so now I just use the Ford FL-1A's or Purolator L30001 in my 88 MJ and in my '00 XJ ... I can find that style of filter just about anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I just use a modified coffee can with a roll of toilet paper in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyaji Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I just use a modified coffee can with a roll of toilet paper in it. Toilet paper filters do exist, being a canister (like your "modified coffee can") and a roll inserted for the filter element. IIRC, they filter down to 5 microns, too, making them better in that respect than store-bought filters. Also IIRC, they are a by-pass type filter, meaning they don't filter all the oil volume coming from the oil pump, just some percentage of it. They did use to have the reputation of keeping engine oil super clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I worked the wheat harvest in Kansas when I was a kid. Seems most of the farmers used them on most of their equipment. A roll of toilet paper was a standard item along with a monkee wrench, pair of pliers and a hank of baling wire.in the tool box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 91-92 2.5L filter threads are the same as on the 4.0L, but whether or not there is enough physical room for a larger filter I don't know.
