Sounds like an UFI of a certain vintage.....

Hey Larry – careful about inexpensive.  A Ferrari engine puts out about 500 pounds of oil pressure when it’s cold – um, or there abouts.  I recall one drivers training session out at Willow Springs.  Sunday morning, early, and I mean the sun is just coming up early, the still 50 degrees desert air, is disturbed by a fellow warming up his TR.  Then a few rev ups and - - - BLAMO.  That got the rest of the motor homes up.  Pop some jeans on and hop into untied tennis shoes and shuffle off to see what happened.  Oil filter split at the seam.  Oil everywhere.  Rust proofing – no extra charge.  The rest of the morning has been forgotten – but that scene is still with me - it was a mess.

Subject: [Ferrari] 512TR Oil Filter Recommendation?

 

Am too lazy and challenged to efficiently search the archives, so could someone tell me what is generally recommended for a 512TR oil filter (and if it's not one that is readily available at somewhere like AutoZone, Pep Boys or Advance Auto Parts, what's a good, inexpensive source)?

Thanks.
