Classic Alfa Forums

Does anyone know the thread size that the oil filter screws onto. I seem to remember it is not an obvious one like M20 but some weird imperial size some like 11 and 5/17's

Answers on a postcard please….

3/4 UNF apparently.

Thanks Lee….

Googled it as I had heard before but couldn't remember...and it came up with a reply to a thread on 'the site that shall not be mentioned' by Kev.....so thanks go to you Kev

was just over there trying to find the list of known good filters to use

don't go for the cheapest option ed, some don't have any non return valves at all and some just have the one

i'm still trying to find the list, if anyone finds it please list it here, always handy thing to have to hand

Yes, did think about going there, but have made it a bit of a mission not to do so.

Didn't think just to straight forward google it….

It's odd that it took you there via that route with that answer and detail etc…

That would be a really handy list. I am trying to avoid anything that doesn't have the correct non return valves. Supposidely Alex is getting a batch of genuine Fiat / Alfa ones before too long.

I get them hand delivered if that is the case

i've used the Mann 714/2 before with no issues.

comes with 2 anti-return valves.

have one sat waiting to go on the rebuild engine.

here's the 3 that were reccomended elsewhere......

-Bosch 0451103349
-Mann W 714/2
-Mahle / Knecht OC 473

Thanks Kev,

Just bought the Mann W 714/2 from that link. Would be a shame not to at that price!

That is cheap. I've seen some original filters on ebay going for 20 notes which is probably the same spec filter with orange paint

I've got plenty, - original large diameter orange ones, special price to forum members...... are such blatant plugs allowed Shrew ?

John.

they are indeed john

feel free to post a quick ad here or better still in the classifieds parts for sale section where they will be found easy in the future, pretty sure they'll fly off the shelf

Sorry John, I should have thought when I bought those parts from you the other day. Will be back for one or two in the not too distant future.

Thanks Kev, I'll do an ad in the classifieds if that's ok, - this shows why this is the best forum, - run with common sense !
John.

John.

for that do i get an extra discount on bulk buy

if the price is reasonable i wouldn't mind half a dozen or so, same for all the boxer engines i believe? will look better on my S1 sud when i (eventually) get started on it
