Was round Dans the other week and his oil filter was a Zetec one...same dia, etc but about twice as long!!!

Is it worth getting one for mine, as i got to get one this afternoon!!!

If it is...what engine size zetec is it?!?!? and will it deffo screw on?!?!?

(as we didn't get that far at Dan's house....max couldn't undo the oil filter .....thanks Steve@SCC for doing it up soo tight!! )

 

YO...ANYONE?!?!?!?!?!


got to get this this afternoon!!!!

 

I thought it would hit the steering rack at the back if it was any longer

 

thats what i thought!!!

 

I normally just use the stantard Motorcraft one with a jubilee clip around it.....

 

The Zetec one is a EFL600, they gave me this last time i went to fords and it did look rather too tall and would have beeni tight fit to get it on in the first place. So I got them to change it to the EFL500

 

nah theres loads of room

 

IIRC, it won't fit if you have ABS.

 

It will screw on as long as there is room the threads are the same.....

 

is it worth it though??

and which zetec model is it for??

 

whats the point

ya change ya oil every 3000 miles, they dont get that blocked, the cvh's are usually changed at 80k and dont get blocked

 

The S1 uses a EFL90 not a EFL500 as std....... (EFL90 is a 4x4 Cossie filter as well)

The EFL600 is used for all the zetec range and also the Focus RS

Any of the 3 will be ok....

 

they only cheap - get one and let us know if it works!

 

Why does the S1 use a different oil filter from a S2?
