WTB - Spin on oil filter adapter for top bolt filter head

[Lpryshlak]

Hello!
I can't seem to find anyone making / selling the spin on oil filter adapter for the top bolt filter head. Does anyone here know where one can be found or potentially have one for sale?

While on the topic, reason I would like to switch to spin on is for the "built in" check valve property of spin on filters. After sitting for a week, my car is taking a bit longer than I like to build oil pressure. I believe I have traced this back to the built in check valve in the filter head... I understand this is a reasonably common issue. New filter heads are no longer available.

Thanks in advance!
Luke

Are you looking for something like this?

It appears to replace the Purolator paper filters with modern, screw-on oil filters...

Hi Rblongboarder

Thanks for sharing this, but this is for the bottom bolt set up. The ad indicates that the vendor can make one for the top bolt set up.
I'll reach out to see if the option is still available.

Thx!
Luke

Isn’t this available from Bert?
Also available from BMW as used in the M1
Or maybe I have one unused in a box at my shop

This what you are looking for?

That appears to be exactly what im looking for!
How does it attach to the filter head? Just a shorter bolt through the top?
Is the PH5 the correct filter for this?

Assuming this is an offer to sell, shall I PM you for details?

Bought it and never used it.
Top bolt tightens it to head and turning filter tightens the filter.
Yes- I will sell.

I think I paid $150.00

So - how about $100.00 plus shipping to our good neighbor in Canada?

As a reminder- we are sooooo sorry and hope you will become friends again....
