I saw this on British Pacific website. Is this true?
"Using the right filter on your Land Rover is very important. Many chain stores are not selling the right one: Rover V8's require an anti drainback valve, and most filters being sold for the application don't have it. This could result in cam and lifter damage." |

Rover filters have an anti-drain back valve. Make sure that any aftermarket filter you may purchase has one as well. Rover oil pumps have been known to loose their prime when allowed to sit a long time empty.

question on the anti-drain back bit. can you tell by looking at a filter if it has this? K-Mart was having a sale on oil filters last night, and by the brand parts catalog, they have the correct one, but the box does not say if it has the anti-drain back valve. It is a Castrol Max Pro or somesuch. |

NAPA Gold, WIX have anti-drainback. It's been said that filling a new filter with oil before replacing it will prevent loss of prime. |

Also, the K&N oilfilters have anti-drain back. |

Just to confirm if FRAM PH8A fits as LR replacement oil filter. If so does this have anti-draintank? |

Robbie,
I have been using the Castrol ones for quite some time (2 years+) with no problems.
K-Mart was going out of business, bought a shitload of them for 50 cents each.

You can test it.
Its not a very scientific method but works. Put the centre srew hole to your lips and try to inspirate through it or blow air into it. You will notice the difference. |

can you not get an original part? over here an original part oil filter is just under £6 (UK) for either a V8 or a tdi filter. :-) |
