I noticed that I do not have an oil filter for my 1955 235 V6. Is one needed? Just wanted to get some thoughts on the subject. Thanks.

It was an option. They were either dealer installed or aftermarket. Its a good idea to have one on there. You would be surprised how much cleaner the oil is on the dipstick.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

There is an oil filter on E-Bay that is a bolt on to the block. I don't expect that it is an unusal item, new to me , but what is the opinion of these things? (Wrench). It appears to bolt to the area where the small plate is beneath the manifold and near the outlet that a flex line would go.

There are most likely alot of the other type of filters availabe,but this may be an option as well.

The filter you saw is for the 216 and 235 low pressure engine.

Are you sure that your V6 is a 235.
