rsb502 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 That location can be either a power steering reservoir or a lumber finer remote oil filter. Your pic has a dipstick so its the power steering variety. I just might have one of each in hiding for a future project!

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It is definitely a power steering reservoir. Luberfiner's are narrower and longer. A luberfiner also does not have a dipstick filler hole on top. 2 lines on a Luberfiner.84 sdog I thought you were being funny with the spelling.Joe D.

mackniac Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 thank you guy's ! I knew that I would get answers !So a Lubber-finer is a kind of xtra oil filter over and above the regular filter we have on-board if I understand properly ?

farmer52 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yes,a Luber-Finer is a by-pass filter,Mac.It also adds extra oil capacity so you can potentially extend oil drain intervals.
