oil filters have specs in microns (size of pieces, which can go through).
If you don't know specs, using another filter is questionable.
I am pretty sure switching to another auto filter is OK, but tractor? Is it filter for 50 years old tractors?
There was a website, listing bigger filters for every car, but I don't know where to find it.

Haha very clever. I was referring to WIX 51515 and NAPA 1515 as the same filter, hence the slash.
I meant what is the difference between WIX 51515/NAPA 1515 and WIX 51182/NAPA 1182? I was under the impression that *1515 was the oversized filter
Just noticed the thread title... do Renix and later years take different filters?

I bought the threaded part for the oil filter from an HO and put it in my Renix oil filter adapter. Easier to find filters. I think it cost $3.

Naw relatively new. I originally found this part number from a Google search. A guy on another jeep site worked at a parts place or something and cross referenced all the specs from the stock filter. The only difference in this filter on paper is a few psi higher on the relief or something like that.

When I bought my jeep it had a plain white oil filter on it no numbers no writing, so I switched to the wix when I did an oil change, and now my psi went from around 20 at idle back up around 30-35

The PO had used some tiny filter (maybe normal sized?). When I picked up my tune-up stuff from NAPA I got the 1515 filter. It is much bigger in size and seems to be very good quality

Ha 3 years later and several oil changes and I completely forgot about this, never did make the switch. For those who did and said they'd post results, where they at?
Main reason I looked this thread up was to see if I needed to change the filter adapter but as far as I can tell its screw and go.
I'm of course referring to screwing in the filter and adding oil the going.
