1936 Super Eight Oil Filter

Posted by glentre On 2022/7/24 11:17:16

My new (to me) 1936 super eight engine needs an oil change. Per the previous owner, the filter is a reproduction unit with a modern spin-on filter inside. What is the procedure for taking the filter canister apart? See attached photo. If I disconnect the oil lines from the engine and oil cooler, will I get a flood of oil coming out? With the lines disconnected, do I just remove the canister from the car and determine how to get inside it to get to the spin-on filter. Any suggestions from those who are familiar with this procedure would be helpful. I hesitate to attack the filter before getting input from those who know.
