alan_edward 0 Posted October 17, 2005 Just noticed that the old oil filter was a wrong one when I came to changing it today. What sort of effects would it have caused? as it was there since I bought the car. Cheers Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted October 17, 2005 If it is not one for a G60 then you will have had reserve oil pressure on startup. The genuine one has a higher pressure non-return valve in it to keep the pressure up to protect the charger. Should not cause you too many headaches though, just that you may have a little bit more wear in the absolute worse case although this is unlikely. The VAG one also has a drive section on the bottom so you can get the filter off again - this is missing from some of the aftermarket filters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
