There's a Valvoline VR-1 Synthetic variety, that's what I run in my TR-4 =
racer. I end up ordering it from Amazon because it's not carried =
locally.

Hello,
=20
I realize has been a question posed many times. But what part number of =
WIX oil filter is best suited for a 1972 Triumph TR6 with a Spin-on =
conversion? If WIX is not a top performer , then what is a highly =
regarded manufacturer for an oil filter?

Thanks,
