Subject: Correct spin off oil filter for LG 45 engine
Can anyone tell me what spin off oil filter they use for the LG 45 engine please ?
I have one of Wessex Workshops adaptors fitted so that I can use a modern oil filter but the filters I have previously used seem to have disappeared from sale
I originally used Crosland 307 but I cannot find these now.
I then used Coopers Fiaam FT 4876 but, likewise, these do not seem to be available now. In any event I think that Coopers Fiaam is now Fram and I have been warned off using Fram as I think there were some problems with some of their oil filters. A Fram number of PH 2821 or 2895 was mentioned.
I originally understood that the filter for an Audi 100 was the correct one but there is apparently a long filter and also a short one. For the Lagonda we need the longer one as I understand that it has a "by pass filter inside" .
The correct size of filter is 149mm long and 76mm O/D which I am using now (my last one !).
What are others using please ?
Thanks for any advice.
