Testarossa oil filter cross?

Is there an cross on the UFI oil filter (to another brand) for a Testarossa 91?

No -- but the US-based F parts suppliers (RA, TRutlands, AFP, etc.) aren't horrible on price for the big UFI.

 

I used to sell WIX products and when i bought my first Ferrari i went to my old buds at Wix and nope they don't make anything. Wix is the largest producer of these type of products whether it is for a Caterpillar or a Simca--but no F-cars. Balwin makes some for earlier cars but not the Testarossa.

 

It is a monster of a filter:

Been there, researched this and that, searched form coast to coast and throughout Europe & Asia.................And have yet to find an equivalent filter for the TR...............Not even Baldwin NOS..............

What are they now, like 20 bucks?

I keep one as a spare in case they stop making them altogether.
I wonder if the lack of aftermarket replacements has something to do with the requirements of a dry sump system, or if it is simply low demand.

 

Thanks guys. I figured my extensive search was in vane. I have noticed several issues on the Testarossa that I will discuss in future posts, but thanks again for the quick reply.

Yes, it is an enormous filter!! And it would always arrive in Connecticut in about a day or two back when I ordered them from RICAMBIAMERICA

Oh, and don't forget about those two crush washers!! One for the reservoir drain plug and one for the bottom of the engine drain plug. I know RICAMBI has those as well

 

I get the TROCK from Ricambi, new bolts and washers and new filter, I think its around 50 bucks

 

Or just use one of these, when it gets dirty, just pop in a new roll of TP!



THIS IS A JOKE..........I'M KIDDING, DON'T DO THIS!!!!!!!
