Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
Hi, what is the recommended oil filter (x2) for a 1990 GQ Safari TD42?
Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
Do you have 2 of the same filters? Double check, allot of them use 2 very different types. The bypass filter is quite a bit more expensive. I used ryco filters but might be better ones.

Genuine Nissan filters.
Well at least that's what Nissan advise ...........
Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
I've been using fleetguard filters. seems to build oil pressure faster with them than the rycos.
Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
I used the brand that the UD trucks service agent uses can't remember what they were called, mainly cos I got them at cost. Also used ryco. Seemed about the same. Used valvolone diesel extra oil, had horrible oil pressure probs with it for some reason. The last one I used was that calibre stuff from super cheap, seemed better.
But as mentioned prepare for a shock if yours has the bypass filter, is about double the price of the standard filter

having recently just done a filter change on my TD42 putting on 2 of the same filters..
Other than if there is 2 different filters already fitted how would one tell if its meant to be running a bypass filter?

Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?

Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
Any one have a Ryco, wix, nissan part number for the filters?
I can cross reference with Donaldson and get them really well priced.
Any diesel filters or oil filters I can get if anyone wants Donaldson ones?
Just give me a number to cross reference.

Its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
One of the ryco numbers is Z115 I think.
Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
ryco numbers z115 x 2 or z416 and z115 depending on setup
Re: Best oil filter(s) for a TD42?
If both the filters are the same, the Donaldson part number is P557780.
