I was going to change my oil this weekend and remembered the thread about oversized filters...
But mine takes the PF3985 ~ and I don't know if there is an oversized counterpart. :confused:
~ not to mention, I hear it's getting harder to find that filter size.
Another thread said to "swap the boss" ~ which I assume means the stem where the filter screws on. And it suggested hitting the local Pick'N Pull to find one from a 92+ XJ (which I believe takes the PH16 stock / PH8A oversized).
But then, I came across a lot of references to the 'O'-ring replacement and figured I'd hit that at the same time.
2 birds with 1 stone?
Thus, 2 questions:
1) is the "boss" the part circled in yellow? or just the stem?
& 2) If I swap the part in yellow, do I use the part circled in red from the current assembly? Or would I use the part from the piece I pull at the JY?
3240
*OK I said, 2 questions... but here's a 1/2 question:
if the part circled in yellow isn't the boss, but I replace it from a newer xj, would I use the part circled in red to secure it to the block?
** and thus question 4!, would I use the O-rings for the RENIX or the newer mount?:rolleye0012:
Am I confused now?
Better yet, has anyone done this swap yet?
