Topic: No Oil Filter


FreddieM47    -- 01-08-2022 @ 5:34 AM
  I own a 1948 Mercury M-47 Pickup. The 239 V-8 engine does not have an oil filter. I have seen oil filters on other engines from 1948, and they are located on the driver's side.

I have spoken to a number of Ford people, and I have been told two stories:

1. the oil filter at that time was an option; and,
2. similar to No. 1, Mercury trucks did not typically have standard oil filters until 1950.

As yet, I have not talked to anyone that seems to know much of the Canadian-built Mercury trucks.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this subject?

Thanks
