Cab 12 Oil Filter Canister.....

[Bob Carriere]

On a cab 12 I am sure there is no way of changing the engine oil filter without removing the engine cover from inside the cab..... the height of the filter can and the height of the filter element means it is to come out through the instrument panel.

Not sure if Phil W. has the oil filter on his C60 cab 12......

Don't get any on you.....

Cheers

You're right Bob, which is why I posed this question. When I look at the Cab 12 configuration (God I use that word a lot!), I can't see the larger cannister inside the confines of the engine cavity. The smaller cannister....possibly. That is why I have this question. You're right about having Phil pop in with his 2 cents. Would be helpful.
We'll get this sorted out one way or the other.......Robert

Hi Bob and Robert

My C60L Pattern 12 had the Frame mounted oil filter which is so much fun to change the filter because it is on it's side above exhaust pipe. I kept that filter location when I first restored the truck with 216 engine. That engine was not originally in the truck, which had a block cracked from ice.

Did have a interesting leak through the side of the original filter body after being cleaned it had what looked like wormholes about 1/16th inch diameter through the body, not what you would think of as rust holes. They were easy to weld up and grind smooth.

When I replaced the engine with a 235 cu.in. the filter assembly had to be changed because the 235 converted to full flow need much more flow capacity than the original by pass design of the original. Truck now has a large spin on filter.

Will post some photos if they would be of help.

Cheers Phil
