NX Oil Filter

[redbruce]

due to the potential for oil dilution in the later NX models with DPF.

Please explain.

[erad]

Oil dilution during DPF burns can occur, especially if the burn is not complete and the engine is shut down. If the oil is not burnt completely, you will get seepage past the rings. The dipstick on DPF models has a Low, high and very high mark on the stick. If the oil gets to this level, it is time to change it because it has been contaminated with unburnt diesel fuel.

Just bought from AutoPro a Nippon Max Series WZ372NM oil filter for the NX with drain plug $35 , the equivalent Ryco is a Z372 costs $55 same price as genuine Mitsubishi

For my old NP I was using a Fleetguard filter (LF3830) which had the drain plug. Cost was around $22 from Coventrys.
I'm buying genuine for my current NX because I've been told the NX filter is slightly different than earlier models. How different I don't know.

the fuel may be dumped into engine for dpf burn. the new version filter may have better filtering ability. the pre dpf engine may not have fuel in the bay that often

I doubt the NX oil filter would be different.

IMHO, if.there is, must be bee leg difference.

The 3.2 diesel same filter regardless of year model, only difference the housing has been changed slightly giving the later models a angle filter.
Cheers

BTW same filter as 2.8 diesel

Guys check this out , it involves a current genuine Mitsubishi oil filter by Denso amongst many others , some good reading

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evo-engine-turbo-drivetrain/637158-official-oil-filter-testing-results-thread-4g63t-4b11t.html

As the current genuine Toyota oil filters are also made Denso and the media looks exactly the same as the Mitsubishi , below is some interesting detail reading in comparison to other oil filters

OEM for MM failed very hard

Fleetguard LF3830

Ill take flleetguard over ryco any day.
Fleetguard made by cummins are one of the largest diesel engine builders in the world. I' m more than sure they wont risk thier engines and warranties over average filters.
Also put in ryco z372 into fleetguards cross referance and you'll get LF3830.
Only difference externally between Mitsubishi old and new filter is old has a flat sealing ring and new one is an o ring type. Not sure about the internals, micron, media type or releif pressure.

The oil filter that Mitsubishi use is a dual combination filter meaning full flow and by-pass filter in one. The Fleetguard LF3830 is only a full flow filter not combination filter. Yes Cummins are one of the largest engine builders in the world and yes they do own Fleetguard Filters BUT they run full flow and by-pass filters on all their engines from the early C160 right through to the latest engines now some with five or six full flow and three to four by-pass filters. I have found out that Ryco Z372,
AC Delco ACO56 are dual combination filters. If you Google AC Delco ACO56 it shows a cross-section of the filter with the two filters in the one housing.
On the subject of 5W30 versus 5W40 the 5 is the grade when cold so oil gets to all the engine quick when cold and as it heats up it becomes thicker so yes 5W40 is my preferred grade when towing, 15W40 is OK but why have a thicker oil at start up.

Curiosity got the better of me.

Whilst in the shed yesterday arvo I grabbed a Fleetguard LF3830 off the oil drain tub (servicing my NX, and NJ, and the 3 ML Tritons of my 2 son's and my Dad there is always an LF3830, old or new, hanging around somewhere) and cut it open.

It is a combination, bypass type. Looks very similar to the AC Delco cut away filter as suggested.

Smoky n bandit, what made you think the Fleetguard was full flow, not combunation type filter?
