Oil Filter Parts Clarification
Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2024 9:11 pm
Hello folks. I'm new to Minor ownership and have noticed a rather small leak from my oil filter.
In short: what are Purolator and Tecalemit oil filters? What sort or brand of rubber and felt rings can I get to fit in my normal oil filter? Would those above brands work alright?
In painfully pointless detail: I previously disassembled it as part of an oil change and replaced the filter, but noticed that there was no felt and no rubber ring in there. I had carefully removed the whole thing to preserve all parts in proper order and consulted the workshop manual on the correct way to reassemble it - but sans those rings, and hence it leaks very slowly.
Obviously I want to get the rings in, but this is the confusing part for new people! I usually get parts from ESM Morris Minors. Some things are listed for "Purolator" types, and some for Tecalemit - can anyone suggest which I might need? As far as I can tell I just have the normal oil filter for a bog standard Series IV 1098cc A-Series engine.
