Oil Filter

[nigelj77]

My 98 450 is going in for a sump gasket at a mates garage, it's due for an oil and filter change at the same time and as my mate doesn't normally work on TVR's I thought I'd ask on here if anyone has a part number for the oil filter, car currently has a fram filter on it but without jacking it up I doubt I'll easily see the number.

Specialists / dealers seem to want silly money for what I'm sure is just a standard filter.

Thanks and advance for the advice.

Will these fit with a sandwich plate ?

Dont think so you may need the early Ford Cossy filter

Excuse my ignorance but what's a sandwich plate and what's its purpose?

Alun, it's a device used to keep your sarnies handily clustered together in one place.

Alternatively I think it's a plate which is sandwhiched between filter and pump to allow a take-off for an oil cooler. One of these anyhoo.

Cheers Mark, thought it was something like that. I can picture it now, so I've got to adapt my lunch box then , he he he.

Does that mean lower oil flow rates ?

Not really probably less service life though

Do all the cars have that take off point and why do you have oil in the pipe and not just a signal ?

[Alun450]

Nice chassis, makes me want to cry, yes I've seen them before Peter but just didnt know the name. I can picture the one on my old XJ. Cheers for that Daz.

I had a mechanical oil pressure gauge then.

My filter (on a wedge) sits "upside down" so must drain everytime the engine stops?
Or if not it must dump a filte full of oil down the inner wing.
Need to do my first change soon, believe there's an art to it....

Yes Daz, all have them.

I didn't need the electrical connection as it was mechanical.

So there must be a plug in it at the moment ,what size thread reducer do I need and is an electric signal good enough for oil temperature? or is it a resistance .
