oversize oil filter
Hi BigfootBushy, thanks for the reply and the welcome.
I am a diesel-mech, (even if I am not practising the trade these days, and worked on industrial engines and then on petrol engines mainly Ford V6s for a number of years.
Now, I know that technology has advanced, etc. etc. but in my humble opinion, I think that the OEM filter is just the bare minimum for an engine of these specs.
The size of the filter was the first thing I noticed when I opened the bonnet for the first time..(Well, I'm lying...the first thing I noticed was the huge space in the engine compartment, hehe)..but you know what I mean...bigger filter, better filtering, flow and cleaning. I am always trying to improve things..
best regards
