My question is what filter would I use number and how would you check the filter for metal shavings when you do the oil filter change

Hi Jim,

The filter info is listed on LN’s site (NAPA 1042 or Wix 51042). Worth a read. Be sure you understand the pros and cons of eliminating the oil filter bypass valve (info available via search). You use a filter cutter to open the filter for inspection. You have to be careful with the sharp edges! Very easy to use a Filtermag or two with the spin on.

That filter cutter is quite the contraption. I just use a pair of tin snips. Takes about 30 seconds. But, as mentioned, seriously sharp edges!
