    Rover 4.4 V8 Oil filters

    I am in the process of returning to the road a 1983 Range Rover fitted with the Rover 4.4 V8/Formula Ferguson upgrade.

    The engine is listed as using a Ryco Z86 (or equivalent oil filter) and I have been finding these difficult to obtain.

    A couple of local dealers sell them but at a cost of $40 or more each.

    So I would like to ask what the RR 4.4 V8 owners use or where they obtain their filters from, and hopefully at a more affordable price!

    Thanks, Mark

    You mean the P76 4.4, pretty sure they just use a Z9 filter.

    I hope so as there is plenty of room for one but I am unsure about the flow rates etc of the Z9 c/f the Z86?

    The Z86 may be been to fit the P76 where space could be an issue?

    I certainly like the price of a Z9 better!!!!

    Yes. Was an ideal match for the vehicle but only happened in Australia as far as I know.

    If the Z9 fits, so will the standard Land Rover part ERR3340.

    The shorter Ryco equivalent to the Z9 is the Z89A - I used them interchangeably on my Hillman Hunter

    See also http://www.aulro.com/afvb/technical-...i-filters.html for more oil filter equivalents (Yes, the 300TDi uses the same oil filter)

    The 4.4 P76 engine uses the Z86 filter if the original car timing cover is fitted. In a Range Rover this is highly unlikely to be still present as the water pump would be too low to run an engine fan. Therefore it is most likely to have a RR front cover and oil pump using a Z9 or Z89A filter. I used to rethread all the P76 oil filter mounts I came across to 3/4"UNF to fit Z9's and none of them had any trouble. I believe that pre 1975 Rover V8's used a similar filter to the P76 but they would be very rare now. Lastly, if there is indeed an early filter mount fitted, a later mount should just bolt on as they had the same gasket for many years.

    I just go to our local Land Rover dealer who in Cairns is the Ford dealer and get the factory Discovery oil filter $17, 3 months ago when I got the last one. Sometimes they have special on and I've got one for as little as $9. I always check the dealer first before I go online. Sometimes they are cheaper. And the Disco filter fits my P76.
