Hi, I recently traded my YJ for a TJ and have a couple YJ Carquest oil filters (85626) that should have gone with the YJ but didn't. In looking at a TJ filter that I just bought Carquest (85085) I see that the dimensions are identical. Is there any reason I should not use the YJ filters on my TJ? Thanks, Al __ Arold "Al" Green
TJ vs YJ oil filters

Pre-91 YJs had a different thread fitting (M20x1.5) than the newer ones (3/4-16 UNF), although the external dimensions of the filter were the same. From 91 and after, 2.5 L and 4.0L engines use the same filter (YJ and TJ).

What year was your YJ you traded in?? And what is the year of the TJ you replaced it with?? Thanks Jamie
YJ was a 1990, TJ is a 1998 __ Arold "Al" Green
