Re: 1936 Super Eight Oil Filter

Hi

I had one of those. You can remove the filter canister without the worry of a bunch of oil flowing out. Some will but not a lot (it would be a good idea to place a pan under it to catch the oil which will mostly come from the canister).

Once you have the canister removed, you'll need to unscrew it using a strap wrench (readily available at Lowes and you'll need 2 of them).

It gets messy from that point on as there will be oil inside the canister and surrounding the spin on oil filter.

I dreaded changing the oil so much that I designed (and now sell) a completely new type of filter.

You can see it here:https://whiteglovecollection.com/shop/packard-oil-filter-conversion-kit/

It allows me to keep an original look while making changing the oil a breeze.

I hope this helps.
