I am lookiing for an oil filter adapter ( close threaded nipple) . I
want to use a 5/8"-18 oil filter orn a 3/4"-16. I am sure that these
are made but I can seem to find them at the local auto parts store .
Do they have another name? Sources ? - thanks

Um, unless you've typed the sizes backwards, you're not going to find
one, 5/8" being smaller than 3/4"

Why do you want to do this, anyway? What's wrong with the stock filter
for your application?

He's talking about the threaded insert that screws into the block. Looks
sort of like a pipe nipple with a hex shaped ID.

To the original poster, can't say I've ever seen one. I've got a few metric
to 3/4, but not as aftermarket parts, just OEM..

Just curious on what filter has a 5/8"-18 thread. After posting my other
reply, I think I did have a few adapters, but these were machined in
house...

I doubt there is anything like that available. The size is too close.
More likely is a replacement housing with the smaller thread size.
What are you working on?

I just found one -
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WD1V
- so they do exist . If I only knew the exact catalog description and
part # I could probably get NAPA to order it and pick it up for a few
$ .

Oh, the filters you have now are MALE threaded and you want to
go to a standard female threaded style? Why dincha say so?

Print out that Ebay find and take it to the NAPA store. Have
the guy fax it in and let their distribution guys worry about
it.

Or contact any of the bypass filter folks who make them for
their units. You now have mfgr names and filter model numbers!

Jeez!! $12 plus $5 S&H. $17 apiece. I think I'll make a few hundred
next weekend on our 2 spindle cnc lathe at work in my extra time. Think
I could sell them all at $9 plus $4 S&H?
