oil filters for MC-2

[Kevin Phillips]

Well I can exclusively that the Mobil M-301 filter won't fit the MC-2
engine, too fat by quarter inch or so.
So I compared the internal structure of the Mobil filter and the Bosch that
I had and they looked to be of similar high quality with anti-drain +
pressure by-pass valves.
I used Mobil Tri-synthetic 15-50 on sale at Kmart for $3.50/q for the 200
and the Saab got a Mobil filter and Castrol 10-30 synthetic.

I assume it's a 10V...I use a Amsoil SDF-15 (on my 84 5ks), it's also the 5
litre Ford application. About an inch bigger in diameter, and a little over
an inch longer, as well. Exact size was posted to the list...last November
maybe. I can measure it if you want.

Long story short....1984 (and I'm sure other) Ford 5 litre filter
applications screw on to 5 cylinder Audi blocks...at least the 88 and
earlier ones. Seem to think they changed mounting somewhere around there,
dunno for sure.

I just finished an 11 month oil change interval using this filter (changed
at 6 month) and Amsoil 0W-30.

The amount of material on my magnetic oil plug would fit here--> . <_

Good filter.
