Tom,
The Tucker did not have an oil filter when it left the plant. Some owners used an aftermarket Fram C-4 oil filter. The crankcase used 7 quarts of 30 Weight motor oil. The cooling system held 24 quarts of liquid and this was a 50/50 mix of anti freeze and water. 3 drains must be opened to completely drain system if vehicle is going into storage. The original battery was a 6 volt 2E Delco. Today a NAPA #7205 a 7000 series works well. I do not recall the cranking amps on the battery. The fuel tank holds approximately 20 gallons of regulas gasoline.
Hope this helps.
Richard

The most important thing with the Cord tranny equipped models was not to allow them to idle too long, since the lubrication system didn't work unless the car was moving forward. I think that the Cord trannys might have had a filter on them, but I've nto been able to find out for certain.
