Re: oil filters - which one for a D?

["jtrealty@xxxx " <jtrealty@xxxx>]

IMHO when I store my car I don't change the oil. Unless the oil is 
VERY old and completly black modern oils have a very high capacity to 
hold dirt and moisture. I change the oil in the spring along with the 
filter after a good warm-up.
Now is a good time though to get familiar with the Delorean vender 
of your choice. Yes,you could find a filter that will fit but it may 
not be of as good quality as one you can get from the venders of 
Delorean parts. They also give you a new copper gasket for the drain 
plug and I'm sure there are some "bits" or other parts that you could 
also order like a magnetic drain plug or a spare bulb or fuse. Order 2 
filters so you don't have to go looking for 1 next year. If we as 
Delorean owners don't buy from the venders who make a livelyhood 
exclusivly supporting our cars then who will?
