Hello,
Bought a newish to me 914 with 3.0 liter engine with an oil tank installed. Tank custom stainless from Ben M. He wasn't the supplier for the oil filter base plate. Can't figure out what oil filter fits the oil filter plate that's mounted on the tank. An OC28 filter has the right 17mm threads but the filter is too small capacity wise. The base size of that filter looks correct. I need the larger (longer)filter. Tried OC 54 filter but the tread size was incorrect. Any clue what OC filter is correct? Of course I don't know who manufactured the filter plate that mounts on the tank. I called pelican but they don't have thread size specs for the oil filters. Usually they have all the answers to esoteric questions. Ok experts!!! Any ideas here? Thanks, Todd |

Thanks, Todd I went for the larger capacity filter think it was an OC 61 but can't read the number on mine cause its on the bottom as mounted but my spare is that number. Pretty sure OC 28 is T4 and yes too small , I bought all spare filters a while back but someone mentioned on here there have been superceded numbers with Mahle. Had a quick look on Pelican and they say the OC 61 as fitting 3.0 SC . Cheers and good luck. |
