This is what he asked for: "My question is what other filters work with adapter delete?"

He didn't ask for advice about using or not using the adapter. Why would you like it when someone gets upset about other people's lack of reading comprehension? I could understand liking beer or pizza but rejoicing in another's frustrations may indicate personal issues. I hope you work them out.

 

Sarcasm is difficult to convey over the internet.

Dr. Freud.

 

Apparently, so is mine.

 

haha, nope, i'm still running the larger filter on that one for now. but i keep the smaller filters in stock.

i've been lucky tho. came close to a second time before i cut that corner off.

 

Chill out! Can you remove the OFA yes. Is it recommended or a good idea, NO. It is there to keep from having frame clearance issues.

 

Exactly. This is why they added the OFA for Cherokees. Wrangler motors don't have them because they don't need them

 

No worries here. Yesterday was a very LONG day and I did become a bit frustrated. Mainly because in reality guys like crusier are 100% right about being better off with the adapter apposed to not having it. I thought i had thrown my adapter away and was screwed so going back was not going to be an option(unless i bought a new one, and im too cheap to do so)

Ill still argue that removing the adapter "works," but you definitely open yourself up for problems. So far with the new purolator on and the engine block surface clean i haven't had any issues. However if you have worn motor mounts you greatly raise the risk of having your filter make contact. All do respect, should we really have the fan in front of the motor? If the mount fails wont the fan hit the shroud and radiator? Because another part of the vehicle failed and effected another we shouldn't have something arranged a certain way? Sounds like the same situation to me, but i really don't know too much about jeeps yet. I've only read on here about one other than cages experience where the filter failed. That persons was because of bad motor mounts. I've also heard of a few that went back because it made them feel "uncomfortable." To each their own.

So I'm most likely going to put the adapter back on. Just to have peace of mind that the filter is out of harms way. I read someone reinstalled theirs without the roll pin while their friend held it where it needed to be. Going to replace exhaust manifold, intake, and mounts at the same time so everything should be fresh. I'd say the best purpose of doing the filter adapter removal is bandaging up a leak until you get the right parts. One thing that strongly supports the removal is, every time you do a filter change you have a new seal. Compare this to how many times this mod has failed for people vs people driving around with an oil adapter leaking on the exhaust. Just a thought.

I'd like to extend my gratitude to those responded with information regarding the main question of the thread.

Thanks again,

Thanks Mike. Glad you found the adapter, too.

Maybe this will help folks get the proper o-rings the first time:
