hi everyone,
was looking at the oil filter the other day and it looks a bit of a snug fit? has anyone been able to fit the filter on with the engine in position as it looks like it will fail the chassis when trying to get it on? I need to buy a filter yet so this is just by eye although it looks like a tight fit!

can you guys advise whether the zetec has a mass air flow sensor?

cheers

yes but you have to use motorcraft efl500 (it is little) and yes zetec have maf sensor but you can run olso without.

grazie!

If you have issues with clearance this is probably the smallest it is a fram ph4546 and i think it is off a renualt 5 gt turbo



fram ph4546

Iv got a tiny one like above on mine to clear the steering shaft,

ops... I have steering shaft on the left! Sorry!

It is possible if your stuck for room to get an even smaller filter FRAM PH 4546, i think its a renault 5 turbo or renault gourdini or something i'll check when i'm at the trade counter next.

thanks for the image uploads. thats great.

I already have a thread within the wanted section but as its relevant if anyone has an oil filter lying around or one they dont need then let me know as I would be interested buying it, cheers.

any thoughts whether an FRAM PH-2857A OIL FILTER will do? (as theres one on ebay)

Hello James

The 2857 is short but not as short as the 4546, i've got a 2857 sitting in the garage doing nothing you can have for £3 which is what it cost me trade just add for postage.

I'm away in Dorset from weds morning for 7 days so cant really do anything until i get back if you want it.
