Sorry if this has been covered, but does anyone know the biggest oil filter you can run on the 2.8? I was hoping to just add a full 7 qts during my oil change.
If you have a part number that would be great.

I use the Mobil 1 M1 301 that will get you near the 7 qt capacity. It is quite a bit larger than the stock oil filter.

NAPA (Wix) PN: 1515. It fits most Ford V8 applications. Fits perfectly on CRD's. 1 Quart size.

PN 1515 or PN 51515?

If you buy it in a NAPA box it's a 1515. If you buy it in a WIX box then it 51515 Same type of thing with the fuel filters.

Over in the FJ Cruiser world, some of the folks had trouble with their oil pressure being too low to open the ADB valve. I would assume that our CRDs have signifficantly higher oil pressure than a FJ. Any input on this? I looked at a Mobil 1 M1 301 today at O'rriles auto. Man that is one big honking manly filter.

The M1-301 has the same specs as the recommended filter for the CRD. I have used them since mile 0 with no issues. http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/index.asp

I use the M1-301 too. No problems. Good results in UOA.

Any of these larger filters fit with the stock skid plate?

Yes,

Both the M1-301 and the larger Amsoil EAO-26, which is 1 inch longer than the M1-301 fits with the stock skid plate. The EAO-26 is as large as it will fit though. 7 quarts on that one is 3 mm below the MAX mark on the dipstick.

That is a very comprehensive link. Thanks. I guess I'm going to try the M1 301 on my next oil change since it's the only one which is readily avaiaible around here, but 16 bucks...ouch.

After reading through the above mentioned link : http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfil ... nions.html
It looks like I'll be making a switch. I wanted something bigger and seeing that the M1-301 is the same as the readily available PH8A I would have considered that in the TG8A but again, not to thrilled with the results of the tests. I cannot find any of the M1-301 filters around my area so I might be trying some wix from napa. Just didn't want to pay more then $5 for an oil filter every 6,000 miles, but the results page has me convinced.

Not sure where you live, I live in a cold climate and in the winter on cold starts the oil pressure will spike. Fram products are notorious for rupturing. I can not get M1-301 in Canada but pick them up at Wall Mart in Minot North Dakota for 5.99 US on my travels. cheap peace of mind when its -40C. Just my 2 cents!

Another reason I want to start using this filter.

Anybody tried amsol EaO15 which is what comes up when you try an equivalent to wix 51515. If you try M1301, you get the same filter.
