| A Fram C159 is one of the oil filters that you can use. |

12 PSI is normal pressure according to the manual.
They will run for years on a lot less pressure than that.

The pleated paper filters are bad, the rag and waste filled filters are the good ones. Gerald J. |

Some people replace the factory oil pressure gauge with a 0-60 gauge. That don't work. You need a 0-30 at most to be able to see the needle move with a warmed up engine. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Did the WD45 have the oil pressure regulator on the end of the cam shaft like the D14 or D15? ------------- 1969 190XT series 3 |
