TDV6 Oil Filter - Purchase

[Ralph1Malph]

Hi All,
I've decided on impulse to replace the engine oil in my D3 TDV6 before our Christmas trip - so I will need a filter and sump plug.

I assume, that they are the same filters as fitted to the Territories and therefore I have a chance of purchasing one at a local Ford dealer or even Repco etc?
It's not so much the cost as convenience to acquire as I'm in the Eastern burbs of Sydney and getting anywhere is a PITA.

I was looking this product: Ryco Oil Filter Cartridge - R2662P - Ryco | Repco Australia (https://www.repco.com.au/en/parts-service/filtration/oil-filters/ryco-oil-filter-cartridge-r2662p/p/A9408886)

Surely in 2019, I don't have to go genuine?

Cheers
Ralph

Ralph... another alternative is to have the parts delivered to your door from one of the Aussie vendors on this site. My local indie (BRitish OffRoad) does overnight deliveries. Just another option if the warden doesn't give you an early mark.

Check the what oil post, filter from Ford is a mahle.

With sump plug washer.

They do sell the sump plug but I don’t see the point in replacing a steel sump plug screwing into a steel thread.

My car is 12 years old and covered 180,000km and still has the same sump plug the engine was made with - just dont over tighten and wreck the o ring.

My D4 doesn’t have a sump plug [emoji41]

Fitted a Stahlbus and haven’t looked back [emoji106]

That looks like a very nice product. Especially to stop the initial gush of oil going everywhere.

I used that product for the last two years of my D3 ownership. Bought from the Repco shop around the corner. No apparent problems.

Is a modification - so your Stahlbus does not have a safety cap?

And of course the OP does not have a Stahlbus so not sure the relevance to purchasing an oil filter and maybe a new sump plug [thumbsupbig]

The o ring in the safety cap isn't compressed by the cap being tightened so you can't over tighten it and damage the o-ring.

To get back on topic then my last oil filter came from Lynford in Morley.

Certainly does have a safety cap.

Relevance? Instead of buying a new sump plug when doing oil and filter change - consider this modification at the same time.

I ordered mine from Amazon.

I ordered mine from Amazon.

Mine came from Demon-Tweaks in the UK. As a bonus they sent me their 2020 catalogue today to thumb through. Heavy enough to club a baby seal to death. Printing and postage must have come close to what I spent on the valve. My 5 year old loves the pictures though.

Just ordered mine from Hastings River Brake and Exhaust, Port Macquarie. Daryl was great to deal with and very helpful, has them in stock at $77.00 plus $10 postage. Nick

The Stahlbus 14 - 1.5 mm will fit a range of Landrovers.
I have one on my early RRS as well as Defender 2.2
Especially good for the 2.2 that normally drains horizontally. You can direct the flow with the tube into a container and not onto the floor

100%.


I have one of those oil drain valves on my Td5, have had for years. Not sure if it's a Stahlbus brand unit though. Would be good to check so that my drain tube is compatible and then fit one to the D4 too.

Why would one replace the sump plug when doing an oil change?

Because it is a specified LR service requirement but not needed in my view if not over tightened.

Available at just about any auto parts seller. I get mine from a independent parts supplier (a couple of different brands) but are available at SuperCheap, Repco, Autobarn, bursons etc - I normally use Ryco and no issues at all.

Because it’s a one piece plug and seal - no washer.
