What filter do you use with LN Engineering Spin on adapter
 
I have seen several recommended. Naturally I can't find them now by searching. What I bought was a Wix 51348 filter [Edit: Wix 51348 was for my Toyotas... mystery solved :) ]. Where did I determine that one? I can't remember and I can't find the thread either from where I divined that this was the right filter.

LN Engineering looks like it says to use Napa Gold 1042:
LN Engineering

The Wix number for that would be 51042 right?

So where in the world did I get the idea that Wix 51348 was the right one?

Should I send it back and get a 51042?

Folks with the spin on adapter, what filter do you use?

Steve

PS This is semi academic because while I just got the spin on adapter I have 4,000 miles to go before my next oil change.... so it will be a while :)

51042 is the correct filter. The 51348 should not be used and may not even fit.

Awesome, thank you.

Steve, here in Europe the Wix 51042 is easily available so thats what I have on my car with the SPOFA. Not many miles yet but so far so good.

The Wix 51042 is the one I've used. I just bought another---I think it's maybe my 3rd? They've been fine, no issues whatsoever. If you're looking, here's a locator: WIX Filters - Where to Buy
