Green assembly line oil filter question? #1169978 02/01/12 11:46 AM 02/01/12 11:46 AM

Anonymous Unregistered A	What years were the green assembly line oil filters put on cars? I think 1972 is when they switched over to the red, white, and blue ones but what year did they start with the green ones?

Anonymous Unregistered A	any break down for the years when those different ones would have been? I seem to recall the red, white, and blue one being 1972 and after.

The later boxes had no date and these filters were used up until and including 1971. I believe they were painted in batches over the years which accounts for some shade variation. 7051463-mfilter8.jpg (295 downloads)
