CUT OPEN: USED QUAKER STATE QS 8 OIL FILTER

[53' Stude]

Good Afternoon my fellow BITOGERS

This old oil filter is from Braapdaddy. Tried scrubbing some debris off it then brake cleaner. Didn’t do much aside from peeling paint off. Did not see a date code. Appears Purolator made. Two tears also, spotted this when pulled element out of can.

Hey Stude me and my son got to the stage in the restoration to refresh the 4.9 and have the filter and the wally recipt from 1998 when the truck was last serviced .......

I remember these old green cans. Thanks for the cut and post sir, shows why pleat spacing is important.

Next time I’ll either use a green rough dish type pad to remove paint or dirt. So much debris and felt like it was cemented on can.

You are welcome sir

Thank you Sir

... shows why pleat spacing is important.

Wide pleat spacing is always the common factor in causing pleats to tear at the pleat base due to oil flow causing them to bend.

As usual Stude, thanks for the effort.
I haven't seen a string in a C+P in a while.

It's blowing cold in No. NJ at the moment and I just serviced 2 batteries. When Mrs. Kira gets back, I'll do a third.

I want to also let everyone here know if you have some old filters new or used please feel free to send them to me. If I could help with shipping please let me know. I enjoy doing this. It’s therapy or something for me to learn from. Girlfriend says “you have some issues; I’m just glad it’s not alcoholic or drugs!”

Might be cheaper if it were alcohol or drugs.

Nah, I’ve saw what those things do to families, marriages and kids. No thank you

Not too long ago you could get Quaker State branded oil filters at Menards on the cheap. They were also Purolator made and were pretty much jobber filters, but they were white not green like this old one. They since cleared them out along with Frams, I got three or four PH3600 for 2 bucks each, still have one left.

Now they have a small selection of Purolators and that’s it.

Thanks for the cut and post of this classic greenie!

$1.99 each at Menards, had the worst nitrile ADBVs ever! Like hard plastic inside of 2000 miles!

These historic filters are awesome & even the old oil is cool! Thank you both for the work. I think it cleaned up just fine. Good eye on the tear. Hope their truck project goes well.

The filter media burned good too. I’ll take pics of center tube later
