Engine >> OIL FILTER THREAD CHANGE
Oil Filter Thread Caution On
1984 Chrysler (AMC) Alliance/Encore Vehicles
Equipped With 1.4L (85 CID) Engines
AERA members are urged to caution their customers and owner of
Chrysler (AMC) Alliance and Encore vehicles, equipped with 1.4L
engines, that a change was made in the oil filter nipple threads.
Prior to May 1984 these threads were a standard U.S. size, but
after May 1984 the threads were modified to metric size.
The problem occurs in that a metric size filter can mistakenly be
installed on a non-metric nipple and seems to tighten correctly,
but once the engine is started a sever oil leak may begin. The
oil filter threads may also be damaged.
An easy test for size is to use a 3/4 open-end wrench which will
fit over the standard U.S. size nipple, but won't fit over the
metric nipple.
The change was made with chassis #124269.

December 1985 - SB 126
