D24TIC - Oil Filter replacement

monkeh · Nov 10th, 2007, 18:44

Instead of going to Volvo now for my oil filter, which is now located in cardiff, (im in newport) and perform the general rubbish by
Ordering,
Paying,
Waiting for a day
Then picking it up when I can.
GSF or Europart however do stock them, but are they the same as Volvo, With the non return valve on the filter?
I refuse to use Fram as the quality is not the best, doesnt include the non return valve and with an engine with a mechanical flaw with the oil pressure, I dont want to take any chances!

Personally i dont think the non-return valve makes any real difference. I mean the filter points downwards anyway so i cant see how the oil could drain out of it when you switch off.
Whereas it maybe needed on some other engine instalations where the filter is fitted on the side of the block, i cant see it's needed in the 740 turbo's

But yes GSF sell Mann filters, who make them for Volvo/VW

All the oil above the filter will drain back through it but the filter will remain full so that on start up the oil ways above will need to be filled before reaching the component (camshaft ect) and creating any oil pressure, You would be wise to make sure it has the NRV fitted.

OK FYI!
Mann Filters have the non return valve, Retail from GMF 7.14 Part number W950/4

I was told Man make the Volvo filters. Is that true?

WHY is there not a non return valve in the pick up pipe to the oil pump? That cant be a big or difficult modification to make. I hear that 1.5 quarts of extra oil in the sump is recommended to help this drain back and lack of oil at start up. Has anyone fitted an engine pre lube system or used one of the 'special' cold start oils

Just had a service done recently and noticed the oil light flash on for a second after startup this morning. Been a busy, busy day and now it's dark so haven't checked oil level. Is this the kind of thing you guys are talking about with the non-return valve on some filters and lower oil pressure at startup?
