I plan to change the oil / filter in my Healey 3000 BJ-7 and although I’ve done this many times before, I’ve always questioned a couple things.
I’ve read that the Paper Cartridge is a “better” filter than Felt – this may have something to do with pleat design and more surface (filtration) area. By comparison the Felt Filter is approximately 30% longer than the Paper filter and denser, which would suggest a larger filtration capacity. Which is the better filter? (I’ve considered the Spin-on filter conversion and agree that they may be far more convenient to change; however, I’m not convinced that spin-ons are any more efficient.)
Any suggestions on a good replacement oil sump Drain Plug crush washer that could be sourced from any auto parts store? The originals appear to be little more than a loose fitting copper washer. Thanks in advance. GONZO
