Purolator Filter L14670

[deziped1]

Will this filter (L14670) for an 91 MJ work on an 89 MJ? Local retailers in my town don't carry the Purolator (believe it was L14619 ?) that fit the Renix engine, obviously do to it's age.

I think the renix era was metric and the later  standard so no. You can get the steel threaded nipple thats in the filter adapter from a newer cherokee or the dealer and swap it with the renix so the newer filters fit. I bought on years ago after reading about it but never did it would not even know where to look for it. I bet Hornbrod will be in with the part number before I can find it.

No. The '89 has a metric thread. The Purolator number is L14619

 

The oil filter base on the Jeep 4.0L engines is an adapter that's screwed to the block. You can remove the metric adapter and install an adapter for the 91+ engines and then use the L14670 filters.

The 91 and up oil filter adapter has SAE 3/4"x16 threads. This allows you to use larger capacity readily available oil filters, some of which are shown below. I normally use the ones in RED below:

Thanks you all for the info. I'll get this taken care of with the newer oil filter adapter off a 91 +.

You can just change the nipple in the oil filter adapter and use a Napa 1515 oil filter.

 

Nipple is about $6 at the dealer.
