Bob, I manage a private car collection and have my own collection of vehicles personally. I encountered many times that certain filters interchange greatly across the spectrum of oil filters. I.E. the Ford FL1A. It seems to be a very common filter that many companies the make remote filter relocation kits use and it makes my job much easier when stocking filters.
Recently I purchased a 2017 Mahindra 2565 Shuttle Cab agricultural tractor for my farm. The filters on this tractor are kept well guarded as far as interchange.
Is there such a thing as a filter thread pitch gauge that one could determine the interchange matches? I realize there are other factors to be considered besides the thread pitch, but knowing that would allow me to shop with some knowledge.
I'd buy a whole set if they exist.
Mahindra is just absolutely breaking it off in the owners by keeping them on propitiatory filters. My last oil filter I just bought was $32.00!!!!!
It's no bigger than a standard Ford filter and has no apparent features that make it different from a $10.00 filter in my eyes, other than thread pitch.
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Steve
