First of all, don=E2=80=99t use FRAM.  Those filters are very low =
quality and don=E2=80=99t have a drainback valve.

=20

WIX, and NAPA (same filter) are excellent choices.  51516  or 51438.  =
The NAPA number is 1516 or 1438.  Also Purolator L20195 will work. the =
spin on adapter for all TRs, MGA, MGB, etc all use the same filter.

=20

For oil you can get the Valvoline Full Synthetic Racing Oil 20w-50 from =
advance auto; has the zddp you need.  Unfortunately Advance Auto =
doesn=E2=80=99t carry WIX but they do carry the Purolator so you can get =
it all in one order with free shipping.

They have dropped the price $2!  Free shipping for orders over $35, =

about once a year.

For the filter, if it is the same as the TR6 spin on, look up a 1996 =
Ford Mustang V6.  You should get the Fram PH3600 and similar models.  =
This info should let you pick your favorite brand.
