Caution: Use as a guide only (part numbers may be out-of-date, and what fits your engine my not fit others because of manufacturer or owner changes. Please feel free to up date and correct)



Oil:

Oil Filters required for NEW Alternator Bracket on the M25 motor:

  • NAPA 1356
  • Car Quest 85356

There are a few other items to consider besides cost: Size -- if you have installed a high output alternator, the filter length might dictate that a shorter filter be used regardless of brand. It’s imperative that some space be maintained between the head of the filter and the alternator adjusting arm. The shortest filter is the KUBOTA. Other short filters are NAPA 1356, BOSH 72182, FRAM PH6607, however, these are also smaller in diameter meaning there is less filter element.

Clogged filter by pass: most (but NOT all) filters have a by-pass if the filter becomes clogged. The old saying, “dirty oil is better than no oil at all” is very true. This by-pass can usually be detected by seeing a spring on the inside of the filter which opens when the differential pressure reaches 11-14 pounds. You might also look at the filter and see a black rubber diaphragm under the small inlet holes. This is an anti drain back valve that keeps the oil from draining out of the filter when the engine is off (or when removing the filter).

The 7410 noted below may be a tad too long and the alternator bracket may bottom out and the alternator may hit the door.
