HOrnbrod Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Some of the following was provided by CC member Rockfrog. Great info. :thumbsup:87-90 Renix Model Orings0.799 x 0.103 AS568 size -1171.296 x 0.139 AS568 size -2192.484 x 0.139 AS568 size -23091-92 HO Model Orings 0.676 x 0.070 AS568 size -0170.859 x 0.139 AS568 size -2122.484 x 0.139 AS568 size -230And here is the picture verification of the Renix sizes for those that need it. Cost? About $1.92 after taxes Canadian funds and taxation. Also, the m20x1.5 metric threaded filter nipple in the Renix era 4.0L's can be swapped out for the SAE 3/4''-16 threaded nipple from a 1991 and up XJ/MJ (p/n 53007563AB). This nipple will allow the use of the more common (and higher capacity) PH8A style oil filters and the others listed below. I use Ford's FL-1A myself.

jpdriver1 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 found a write up on this Jp magazine's site http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/5421/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mjblue Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 found a write up on this Jp magazine's site http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/5421/ ^^^ This. Should have done this while I was at it, but I had already ordered the replacement o-ring set and made the repair and everything before I read this... Here are my pancaked o-rings btw, and the kit found here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BYNK58Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 the right sized o-rings for renix oil filter adapters. But again, if you are going to go through the trouble to replace these o rings, you might as well just go and replace the whole adapter with the larger capacity filter.

Knucklehead97 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Can I just take a HO filter adapter off a Cherokee in a junkyard and buy the Orings and do this? Really wanting to do this so I can easily change my motor mounts and my orings need to be changed anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thinking too, because to change the mounts all the oil filter hardware has to be removed. Might as well do it all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Is there any place I can get the Renix orings other than the dealer? The local dealer tried to charge me 30$ for the orings. But he swore oreillys sells a kit that has the orings in it. Definitely don't want to spend 30$ on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam86 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Don't go to O'Reilly they have a package and only 1 or 2 fit. I went to Napa with the O-ring numbers, they took me to the back and had a bin full of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Sadly the napa around here closed down. I found a website which sells individual orings for CHEAP. But you have to buy a certain amount. Still coming out way cheaper than the dealer wanted, and I can help out anyone that is in my situation and needs the orings for cheap :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
