I had one on my first TR 4A, and I have another on my current TR 4A. I
use Fram PH 3600. Coincidentally, at the bottom of a box, 5 minutes
ago, I found the directions from one of those units, but I don't recall
if it was the directions from my earlier version, or the one I'm using
now. The directions I found are from "A MOCAL product made in
England"... and they suggest Fram PH 966. (I have been using the 3600
filter for about 10 years now.)
The only problem I ever had with these unit s was the first one I
bought... the custom little adapter extrension screw that was provided
was weak and poorly engineered. Eventually it snapped apart... back
then... I simply had a friend of mine machine up a custom one... but
that was the first TR ... on the latter, when I bought a kit, I was
satisfied that the same part was now engineered better... and I
installed it as is.... no problems.
I do still adjust the built in pressure relief valve.... it still
influences the oil pressure as seen at the gauge.
