VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1912-1928 27 oil filter

the oil filter from 27 capital feels pretty heavy is there a way to clean or is it replaceable.
has any one cut open one of these?

The Filling Station sells new ones.

I would like to see someone manufacture an oil filter that looks like the original four-cylinder ones, but opens up to be able to use a screw on newer filter cartridge inside. I think there is a market for these type of filters.

As things are now, you have to buy a whole new replacement filter when yours needs changing.

I solved this problem with my trucks by using a 1950's style oil filter whose cartridges I can buy at the local car parts store. But, I'd prefer a filter that looks like the original (just not the price of a new one).

Here's a link to a discussion of my oil filter usage: https://vccachat.org/ubbthreads.php/topics/400847/re-resurrecting-a-28-4-banger.html#Post400847
