Re: 1949 oil canister

Mine doesn't have the optional oil partial filter, but I recall I investigated adding that. I'm familiar with GM and partial filters. My Cad has one, mostly a maintenance pain for what little they accomplish. You still get sludge.
There's been some pictures on here, but don't recall the "innards" being shown. U might search site/forum.

I'm under the impression/memory that these were made by various filter manufacturers, not Packard. So you might have to determine what brand you have and what filter it took. Kinda like the cars that came with autolite or Delco electricals. Packard didn't make standard things, brakes, etc. just the engine and frame. eg:Bodies were farmed out to Briggs, etc..

I'm sure someone will correct me since I'm going from memory.
