Default Purolator oil filter N-51

The Ford Lynx runs an oil conditioner, or to us lesser mortals, oil filter. It has a PUROLATOR N-51 cartridge.

The Ford Lynx parts book lists it as number C01A-18697. On the top of the Purolator brand cartridge is the number N-51.

I need one.

Spent hours searching the web for one to no avail, so over to MLU.

Thanks Rick

Try checking for an interchange. What numbers do wix or fram or another dozen different filter manufacturers cross over to. Is it by any chance just a std military filter cartridge? Mostly then, they were bypass filters. How do they compare to other CMP filters?

Default Do you have acess to older printed cross over catalogs?

Hi Rick

I'll check some of the older filter print catalogs to see if I can come up with a cross over number. All my catalogs are US but will see if anything comes up.

I've found that actual print catalogs have stuff that is not listed on the web, it seems that they just sort of loose the older information when they feed the info into a computer data base. I've also found that it is worth going back through several print catalogs as the data shown in one year maybe different from what is shown in another year or different suppliers catalogs. For years the local NAPA parts dealer that I have been buying from for 30+ years gives me copies of what ever print catalog I want when they get the new ones.

May not go out and look today though, catalogs are out in the loft of the shop and it is currently -17C and not expected to warm up.

Cheers Phil

The part number works out to a Nato stock number (NSN) 2940-00-529-2737. That NSN gives a lot of interchange. Hopefully this link works out:

http://www.dlis.dla.mil/webflis/pub/...2737&newpage=1

If I cross reference one of the numbers from that list, I get a NAPA NGF 1080. This will translate into a WIX 51080. You can also likely get away with the standard 1010 oil filter used on all the fords, although it is slightly larger dimensionally but has a better micron rating.

Default More information on cross over

Hi Rick

Had to go out to the shop anyway so brought in the filter interchange catalogs. Started with the oldest 1990 looking at Purolator N-15 not listed but they had a Purolator N-1500 that cross referenced over to the what Rob found "NAPA NGF 1080" if you want to check the dimensions and information to compare of the with what you have try this link http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...080_0338264248 on that page you can click Buyers Guide and it will give you a cross to all the vehicles and equipment that uses that filter. I've found this information useful in tracking down sources. Quick look says it was used in a lot of stuff.

Also checked the 2007 NAPA filter catalog and it is showing the same N-1500 with a NAPA number of 1080.

I know the NAPA numbers don't help much but their numbers are the same as Wix with the first number dropped from the Wix 5 is oil filter designation. Just called my local NAPA and they confirm that Wix 51080 and NAPA 1080 are still in the system.

Cost in US dollars is list $25.32 with normal shop discount down to $14.49

Hope this helps.

Cheers Phil

Hard to believe they are actually cheaper here in Canada. From my "PROlink site:
List price 20.69
Your Cost 12.29
Unit Each
DC Qty:6 Store:1

This means that my cost is only $12.29, my store actually has one in stock, and there are 6 more at the regional warehouse in Winnipeg.

All this leads me to another question: The Shilo Lynx I worked on has the mk2 style double filter full flow oil filter system like a mk2 carrier. Since yours has the smaller filter, was this on the earlier models of lynx and was it a partial flow only filter?
