coolant filter
i have a remote oil filter kit thats just been hanging around in the shed for my toyota . i never put it on the toyota and it will prolly never make it there. i was wondering if i could make it into a coolant filter. i was thinking if i found a coolant filter that would screw on there , it would work. any ideas? part numbers on coolant filters?
i have a *203 stat and new neck in the mail and was planning on flushing the coolant . if i could put a coolant filter in there at the same time with something i already have , all the better.

Looks like the same filter base we sell and it probably has the same threads for the filter on it. Do not use an oil filter for it, not meant for coolant. For coolant filters you can see what we sell here:

It probably wont fit. Every remote oil filter base I've even seen has 3/4-16 threads for a PH8A or equivalent oil filter. Coolant filters use a smaller stud, I can't remember the exact size but NAPA sell the base and two 5/8 hose barbs as part # 4019. I paid something like 15 bucks for mine but that was a long time ago so I'm sure the price has gone up now.
