68-f-model Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Am I just not seeing it but I can't seem to locate any type of oil filter on my Macks engine. Maybe some one more knowledgeable can point it out to me. Thanks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Follow the oil lines from the oil cooler and see where they go. Haven't worked on a F model so I can't say for sure.

68-f-model Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 They go straight into the engine block. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-303774 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Follow the line that goes from the front of the oil cooler. It appears that it goes horizontal toward the back of the truck underneath the Baldwin fuel filter and then goes down toward the frame. The truck will have a filter unless someone really did a FUBAR. It will probably be frame mounted behind the cab. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

68-f-model Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'll have to double check that tonight. I might have miss took it for an air tank at a glance.Ah in scanning back through pictures on my phone, I believe Mike is correct I can see it under the left battery box. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-303778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

68-f-model Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 As much as I have been crawling over, under and inside that thing replacing the water pump and coolant hoses I should have realized where it was. Thanks step closer to getting the old truck back to road ready. Then onto the painting.

Superdog Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 You might want to check the condition of those big oil lines going from the filter to the block. I can tell you from experience that it will pump out alot of oil in a hurry if one breaks and those old steel braided lines do get brittle with age. I bought an old '67 F611LT several years ago,it had just been used around the guys farm for several years and then sat for several more,I checked it all over,he gave me a pull and it fired right up,let it sit there and run while I wrote the check and got the title,as I headed out the drive I heard him yelling,I'd no more hit the hi side of 2nd and one of those lines broke,got it shut down quick,but it sure made a mess. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-303785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
68-f-model Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Oil lines are next on the hit list. I actually broke the oil line from the turbo last night while putting in a coolant line. I just slid it sideways a bit for room and it cracked in half. Braded fuel lines are similarly brittle I would assume. Is there a recommended source for these lines? I was thinking of taking my old pieces in to napa and having new ones made up.

hatcity Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Braided line is hard to find. I have regular Hyd. hose made up.A NAPA that does hyd. hose can set you up.....providing they have the correct fittings Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-303792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
68-f-model Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Well worst case I guess I can make up my own lines using earls braided line and fittings from summit. I have had great results with those products on fuel injection systems.I'll try napa first though.

39 Baby Mack Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 I would recommend finding an Aeroquip dealer, they're probably reusable fittings. The big lines are #16, can't remember for sure the size of the smaller one, think it's either #6 or #8. The hose your looking for is Aeroguip FC350. Made to handle hot oil. The oil filter is a Mack #236GB311A which crosses to a Baldwin P706M, The gasket ("O") ring is a seperate item. #G157 I believe is the number.RonSent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-303962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
68-f-model Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks that has saved me a lot of driving around and back and forth to the store.

Underdog Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Thanks that has saved me a lot of driving around and back and forth to the store.I have a filter set-up for an F model with brand new lines sitting on my shelf. I can ship it out to you if interested. I upgraded to spin on filters and no longer need the canister.Come to think of it, why don't you just take my entire spare 237 engine?GreggSent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-304004 Share on other sites More sharing options...
68-f-model Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Do you have a picture of your set up? Also what would the price be for just the filter setup?I have 2 sets of wix spin on filters I had ordered by mistake before I realized it was a canister.I keep getting told by the lady of the house I have to much stuff and I keep saying, no I just need a larger barn.So an extra engine is probably not going to fly. Mine only has just over 300,000 so it should last a while in my 2,000 mile a year usage. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-304009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
68-f-model Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 Does anyone know if the g-157 o-ring can be interchanged with a napa/wix 5114 (15114) ? specs on each:g-157o.d: 9i.d: 8.46thickness: 0.281255114 (15114)o.d: 9.025i.d: 8.475thickness: 0.275 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-304149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ditchkus Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 If you have a Kenworth Dealer near you try them. My local KW Dealer sells Aeroquip by the foot along with fittings. You buy what you need and put hose together yourself. Easy job you only need a vise,lubricant and a wrench. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41786-237-with-no-oil-filter/#findComment-304151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 G-157 interchanges to WIX 15114 or NAPA FIL 5114.Did you mean that or 5144 from your post?
