[ROVERNET - UK] P6 Oil Filter

[Vern Klukas]

Very interesting John. I learn something everyday. I was bothered by 
the fact that I have never had a drain back problem on any of my 
2000s except when the rubber valve was missing, and my filter are 
always full when I change the oil ( I cut them open and check for 
metal), but I realize that i have never had a driver car without an 
oilcooler in the rad. The oil cooler is then the lowest part of the 
system, and I expect prevents the system from draining down on the 
delivery side. Plausible?

Yours
Vern





>Vern your correct about the FRAM filters being junk for most part.

>As for the internal valves. All most all automotive oil filters have 
>a Anti-Drain Back Valve on the intake side mounted to the base of 
>the filter. Inside some filters or on the filter head there is a Oil 
>Pressure Relief Valve.  Now what about drain back on the discharge 
>or output side?  Look at the MG B inverted or top mount or 
>upside-down spin-on filter head.  There is a standpipe about four 
>inches high that is the Anti-Drain Back system for the discharge 
>side of the filter.  The Rover 2000 engine has the upside-down 
>filter head but no standpipe.  So in about one half hour gravity

>>I presume you are asking about a 2000 filter. The Fram number for 
>>the correct filter is PH2821A. However, I advise you to buy a Wix 
>>or NAPA brand filter (both made by Wix) as Fram quality is rather 
>>poor these days. The NAPA filter is cheaper than the Wix branded 
>>can. It is a common filter.

>>Another poster suggested there is a standpipe, that is not quite 
>>correct. The filters have a rubber flap covering the holes 
>>surrounding the central, threaded orifice that acts as a 
>>anti-drainback valve which acts just like a standpipe. The rubber 
>>valve is visible on inspection.
