Oil filter

(1/2) > >>

Banjo:
Just changed the oil in my 200tdi, don't know what oil was in it , filled it with 10w40 semi and BRITPART filter,  now when i start it the oil light stays on for a couple of seconds,  it didn't before. Anyone had probs with these filters..?

Banjo:
Changed the filter ( mann ) and it's fine, had me worried , at 130k it's only just run in :D

Range Rover Blues:
Some filters have anti drain back valves in them.

ibruceuk:
I've noticed the same with my 300Tdi.  My oil light stays on for a couple of seconds after starting.  The filter I put on was Unipart.

what manufacturer would you say is the best, has the anti-drazin valve in it??

I'm going to change the oil again in a couple of weeks

DiscoDan:
Personally I use genuine oil filters, at only £5 it's not worth saving money.

This way I know the oil is getting the correct filtration, I suspect that cheaper filters use inferior filtering which could allow particles to circulate around the oilways.

HTH, Dan
