Hello, I was wondering If anyone has fitted a renault5 turbo oil filter to their zetec turbo or cvh.
How long do it last between sevices?
They seem a bit small and they might get clogged up easily, do they even filter at all?

I'm in the process of a 2.0L zetec conversion on my mk5 fiesta, and there's some clearance issues

cheers Aaron

 

Why not fit the proper oil pump from an escort or fiesta zetec??

 

use the filter for a fiesta rs1800/xr2i 16v

 

cvh filters fit zetecs, and aren't anywhere near as long as a zetec one.

 

yeah im running a cvh filter mate, exactly the same design but about 30mm shorter!

 

am i the only person who got away with using a zetec oil filter in a transplant? lol. everyone ive spoken to ended up using a different one.

 

yo! cheers for the ideas
I've swaped the oil pump for a mk3 fiesta item.
But this engine's going in a MK5 fiesta, and the chassis in the engine bay is completly different.
I need a filter which is about 60mm long or it's going to get pierced when the engine rocks
Is there any disadvantages to using smaller filters? Like that black sludge building up?
Cheers Aaron

 

i was told the zetec ones were to big but now the engines in i can see id be fine witha zetec one. makes no odds though really.
