Firemack Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Some of us have Mack Gas Engines (707 and 464) that use the Mack part 236GB222 oil filter which is no longer available from Mack or typical jobbers (Napa etc.) Has anyone found a good replacement for this filter, or do we know of any suppliers that have new old stock still available?The closest replacement I have found is NAPA 1133, but is has a much larger ID about 1.5 inches versus about 3/4 inch for the original. It should work but will not provide as much filter area. These are bypass filters so it may not be critical but would be better to have the same size filter if possible.Barry has checked but has not found any so need to check with the rest of the BMT team. Thanks for any help from the BMT team!Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3027-replacement-for-mack-oil-filter-236gb222/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firemack Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 Barry,Here are the specs on the 2 filtersFram C31PL= NAPA 1503NAPA 1237 NAPA 1503Height 8.25" 8.039"O.D. 4.5" 4. 092"I.D. .625" .567"It might be possible to make it work. I will ask my local NAPA dealer to get one so we can look at it and confirm the dimensions and possible fit in the filter housing.Can you check the part number 85727 MackPro mentioned to see if that is available? We can look at that and check the dimensions on that one also.Thanks,Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3027-replacement-for-mack-oil-filter-236gb222/#findComment-14806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Hatfield Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Here is what I am going to do,Take the original assembly off, build a bracket to mount a oil filter head and spin-on filter( Baldwin OB1308 head and Baldwin B7577 filter). When you take off the mount there are 2 threaded holes, the 1/2" is the inlet for the filter and the 1/8" is for the return. Make your lines and your in business. Should be about $60 or less for head and filter, $30 or less for lines. Can't find filters no more, they were over $50 at swap meets.

Fram would be C2926 (if it is a Carquest number) Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3027-replacement-for-mack-oil-filter-236gb222/#findComment-14822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
