cvrw - full flow cartridge filter?

[markbg]

Hi Hi

Looking at a recent post I think I put the wrong type of oil in the Fox - I bought 15w/50 multivis from morrisons but it states this is best for full flow oil cartridges - however I would assume the fox has a partial flow filter? is this correct?

cheers

I can't see how the type of oil filter fitted makes any difference as long as you are using the correct grade of oil specified in the service schedule.

It does if it's a detergent oil as this carries all the small particles around with it to keep the engine insides clean. No problem with a full flow filter but not so good with a bypass.

 

I have no idea what CVRW uses though!

I cant link the other thread where yhis was discussed but basically the gist was that if you have a partial flow filter you dont want oil that holds all the crud in suspension as it can block oil ways and means the lumps get into bearings etc - for partial flow you want a low detergent oil that dumps the lumps etc in the sump

 

Therefore I know that the oil I should use is OMD110/75 but in discussion with ex mod guy ay morrisons theres no equivalent of this - omd is a military grade so with information plus previous thread where the merits of the different grades of oil were discussed if i have a partial flow filter i am better off with a low detergent oil like 20w/50 golden film oil from morrisons rather than 15/50 multi vis which they state requires a full flow filter

 

Im no expert but i hope that exlains it

I do know the manual states the filter has a bypass IF the filter is clogged up but not whether its full flow at all other times...

If I'm wrong Richard F will correct me, but the J60 has a full flow filter.

I would imagine it uses a full flow. OMD stands for oil, mineral, detergent so if that is the original spec, it should be fine.

You are definately using the correct oil type. the designation OMD means "oil mineral detergent". the oil filter on the CVRW is a full flow filter. I have been using Morrisons multivis in my Foden and it seems to be a very good oil.
