MG TD TF 1500 - what oil filters to use with Moss spin on adapter

I ordered the spin on adapter without their filters as I don't care for Fram. What number does this spin on adapter use though so I can cross reference some other brands etc.?

Thanks in advance.

Wix 51516

NAPA Gold #1516
NAPA 1515 filter. It's like a 1516 on steroids
store brand from Advance Auto because it's virtually the same color as the block

I use the Napa 1516.

Good luck,

As Evan indicates, the Advanced Auto - AA 3600 seems to be the right color and blends right in. It's what I use. I guess with the very frequent filter changes that I do, I'm not as critical about the quality of the filter as the cosmetics. Probably wrong thinkage.
Safety? Fast?

Thank you gentlemen.

NAPA Gold 1515...it's made by WIX for 1/2 the price of a WIX filter...
Bob Dougherty

Actually, both are made by Gard Corp. The only difference in them is the labeling and packaging.

Russ,

Sorry, not sure about the 55TF.

Also, I use the 1515, not the 1516 as I posted above.

Cheers!

No NAPA stores in this area, so no 1515 is available. Since the air cleaner is made by AC, I have always used the AC spin-on.

The K&N HP2009 is light years ahead of all of them. This was born out in the tests of multiple filters (sorry, forgot the source - its been a few years since). Its more expensive - around $13 but well worth it.
