Thread: OIL FILTERS

Ryco are now made by the parent company GUD Manufacturing in Thailand. GUD also make the filters for Toyota in the same factory to Toyota's specs. The current Toyota Z9 (15600-41010) is made in Japan and whilst it is the same thread etc, it is bigger again, more filter medium. Good quality but $25 retail from Toyota dealers.
We are also a Ford dealer, so I use the Motorcraft AFL1MC, this is a Z9 spec, but made currently in the US. These look similar to the Ryco but internally have a better filter medium and use silicon anti-syphon valves instead of rubber. They are only $12 retail from any Ford dealer.


that's my tuppence worth..................

Was the remote filter housing expensive? I'd like to do the same.

Happy Days.

I thought I would post this for any one like me who knows no better.

No, other way round, sorry.
The centrifugal just drains back into the sump.

The remote mount I used is a Perma Kool brand from the USA. This one I got from Rocket Industries in Sydney, $49, that was a while ago but even at $100 now it is a great convenience. It comes with an adapter to screw on like a filter to the motor and another adapter you then screw a filter to. It uses brass fittings, hose clamps and about a metre of hose. The hose is pretty poor so I replaced with a 300psi hose from Enzed and decent fittings that do away with the hose clamps. On the front passenger side chassis rail there was a convenient hole already there, so that was where I mounted the remote head. So when the filter comes off, oil goes straight into a pan, no mess. Filter is tucked up and well protected by the chassis rail. The hose was a bit painful to route but been there for around 280k and been very convenient. It also uses an original Land Rover filter if you want to, same thread as Z9 as stated.
Best part...........no burns, no mess.


Cheers

Thanks mate,

I'll be looking in to it.

Happy Days.

I thought I couldn't hear the mhale rotor filter spinning after I turn off the engine but last night I could with the bonnet open. Seems to be a lower frequency or something. I have bought a mann& hamel one for the next service to try that. but no probs sticking with the Mahle one. Cheers Matt
