Title: Re: Will oil filter be o.k... Post by scorpio_man on Apr 16th, 2005, 7:53am hi there yes, should be fine as long as it's a sae 5W-30 oil. i've found that the ford formula E oil is best but at about £25 for 5 litre, a bit expensive. i try a few others (change my oil a lot), but this croma x-tech(£16) seems good, imo. hth |

Title: Re: Will oil filter be o.k... Post by Snoopy on Apr 16th, 2005, 8:02am It is not a " non return" valve it is a full flow bypass filter with a presure valve incorperated into it, that should the filter get blocked in any way the oil will by-pass the filter and still flow around the engine thereby still giving the reuired lubrication, "Primary filters are standard on most engines. They are also called “full-flow” because 100% of the engine oil passes through them in normal operation. The filters must work without introducing a lot of restriction, or else oil will not flow into the engine during cold start-ups. This is one reason the full-flow filter allows passage of the comparatively small contaminants; trying to catch everything would restrict flow. If blockage occurs in the filter, bypass valves open. This allows oil to go around the filter and back to the engine. In this situation, lubrication with unfiltered oil is better than none at all. |

Title: Re: Will oil filter be o.k... Post by Eddie on Apr 18th, 2005, 8:38pm 2.0L is the EFL600. Have fun and roll up your sleeve,I suggest putting a pile of rags or similar over top of starter motor to catch the gush of oil that comes out! eddie |

Title: Re: Will oil filter be o.k... Post by mr._floppy on Apr 20th, 2005, 9:06pm They may be re-cycled Baked Bean Cans Eddie, but I have been assured by Halfords that none of their products are tested on Animals, in fact some of them are not even tested on cars ! ;D :o |

Title: Re: Will oil filter be o.k... Post by martin_rowe on Apr 21st, 2005, 8:35am only fitted by animals, that aside, halfords do not make oil filters, neither do ford, they all out source, if you look inside the filter through the hole in the middle you can see the valve. Martin |
