Source for Oilguard filters?

Big Bore · Oct 24, 2020

Went to install my last on hand filter, and a frickin mouse got at it. Looked online and apparently Oilguard is out of business and URL redirects to some place selling gold plated filters based on the cost. Anyone know of a reasonable priced filter? Otherwise I'll probably just get rid of the bypass setup.

If anyone knows what size the plugs are at the oil cooler boss that would be awesome

I'm sure that filter is made by someone else. Find the specs of the filter, then go onto the Donaldson website to match up a filter.

I tried cross referencing on Donaldson site and nothing.

What’s the part number on your filter? Does your bypass return into the block and feed from the oil filter housing?

Filter is EPS-20. I'll have to look tomorrow but I'm pretty sure the bypass connects at the rear oil cooler boss.

I neglected to answer part of your question, it doesnt have threads. Its a cartridge.

Ah, I see now.
Were you looking on the ecomicrofilters site?

Yea, thats where the oilguard url redirects. I'm just going to ****** this entire setup. Its leaking at canister fittings and the cost of filters makes cost benefit nil. I'd rather do an extra filter change between oil changes or change oil more often.
