My personal preference for the TR6 spin-on oil filter
adapter is the Motorcraft FL-400A. (My family has been
long-time Ford enthusiasts, and this way at least a small
bit of that can continue in the TR6.) Alternate brands
are AC X21+, Fram PH3600, Purolator PER195, or WIX 51516.
Regardless of which brand of filter you use, I have
become convinced that this filter is the best match
for the TR-6 spin-on adapter, because of the built-in
filter relief valve and relatively high surface oil,
allowing for higher oil flow than a smaller filter.
Rather than describe the reasons in detail in this mail
message, I'll instead refer you to one of the articles
at the VTR WWW site concerning this:
http://www.vtr.org/maintain/tr6-spinon.html
I haven't yet had a chance to scan in the drawings that
belong with the article, but the text will give some
more insight into filter selection for a full-flow
oil system as used in the TR-6.
