Re after market filters for the 98+ 3.0 TD Jackaroo – fellow owners might be aware that Ryco have th Z79a listed for the small oil filter on the Jack – the last one I bought would not fit – the one bought prior (my first) just made it on – the issue is that the outer rim of the filter snags on the engine frame, before the seal contacts the engine face. One cannot of course see a damned thing in there to see exactly what is the problem. The OME version must be a whisker smaller in diameter - I have advised Ryco and they will pick up my last purchase and intend to get onto the issue.....will advise on any outcome. For now, I'm going back to OME unless Jack forumites have a suggested alternative.

Have a chat to the guys at www.sydneyfilters.com.au.
They can access a number of different filter brands such as Baldwin, Racor and Wesfil.

Why go through all these dramas when GENUINE parts are available that are actually made for the vehicles?

Filters are obviously very cheap to produce - just look at the super low prices that some vehicle owners can get them for (even some OME's are dirt cheap). I simply refuse to be ripped off for OME if there is a quality alternative. I reckon the mucking about is worth it, in order to send these marketers a message. They obviously think we are happy to suffer just because there are not many Jacks in Oz. For the volume brands of fourby, the savings are huge with Ryco and the other non-genuines I'm told.

Hi Banjo, I use the ryco and sometimes the valvoline one without any dramas.
One thing I have found is that sometimes a small stone or other
debris can get wedged between the filter and block.
I always give it a good clean around that area.

Indeed - I did give it a good blast with
water a day or so prior to this work - that is an idea though....trouble is its a bugger to see anything down there and I dare not try and do anything in that region with the filter off ! A bit of grit in there could spell disaster ! Might try a bit harder to have a good look down there.

On another thread someone mentioned that the internals of aftermarket filter (ryco) was quite different to the genuine part. Put me off given oil is so important in TDs.

Banjo,
How often do you change your bypass filter? Do you always do it at the same time as your main filter? Or say very 40,000km?

G'day Andrew - the manufacturer says only change it IF you have to repair the donk ! My mechanic of many years experience says bulldust - if its a filter, change it. At around $7.50 for the Ryco Z79a my plan has been to change it every 10k - the mainfilter and the oil get done every 5k - might be overkill, but I keep cars until I want to change my
camping formula - even if that takes many years !
