92 Jetta turbo diesel oil filter question
Hi:
I got an oil change recently done by my mechanic. He always has a hard time replacing the oil filter as he finds it too big for the little space there is to replace it. I buy the FRAM PH 3569 from Wal-Mart. He has asked me to check if there is a smaller version of this filter available for this application. I've looked up the MANN web-site and I see that the W 940/25 filter is the one applicable for my car. It's dimensions as listed on the MANN web-site a Height - 142mm, Diameter - 93mm, rubber gasket outside dia - 71mm, rubber gasket inside dia - 62mm, screw-on hole - 3/4-16 UNF. I've measured the FRAM PH 3569 and it's height - 115mm, diameter - 92mm. Can anyone suggest any other smaller filters that can be applicable for the 92 Jetta turbo diesel? Thanks in advance, AJ. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) |

There are no smaller ones. The filter design is based on the engine
requirements. There are bigger ones, There's a GM filter that has no back flow valve in it, but its the same size. They are easy to change too. They are easy to get off with one hand. If it wasn't previously overtightened. If he's taking it out the top its harder. I generally take it off , flip it over to drain in the pan, drop it out the bottom. If your mechanic is having a hard time with a filter, I,d find another mechanic. . "AJ" <amit at interlog dot com> wrote in message ... > Hi: > > I got an oil change recently done by my mechanic.

I agree with none2u. Any advantage or disadvantage with the GM filter
without the back flow valve? I never considered using a non VW filter without the valve. In article >, none2u > wrote: >There are no smaller ones.

92 Jetta turbo diesel oil filter question
I don't think there's any advantage except price. When I was putting my ex
through college, and I was poorer. I found the cross reference by accident looking through oil filter catalogs in Murray's. ( Yea I have no life.) The Ph 3569 doesn't cross reference with this filter. But one of the filters it cross referenced with , does cross referenced with a common GM. I think it was an PF4 or PF 2. And that cross referenced with Murray's house brand. Which was usually 99 cents to $1.99. So I used it because I had options to get whatever cheap filters were on sale. So I checked them side by side in the store, tried it and it fits. Its exactly the same size and same threads. I showed the cross references to the Murray's guy , and they gave me the I don't know why. But if you looked inside you could tell the filters were different. No spring in the GM. Later, I figured out about the back flow or bypass valve and stopped. But at the time I was changing oil every three thousand miles and leaking , burning a quart every 500 , in a 300,000 mile rotted Rabbit. and, Putting my ex through college on $7-11 bucks an hour, 60 hours a week, in a farging foundry, Reclaiming sand for the next days cast. So it was a good idea. And I didn't think the filter would matter much anyway. I don't know the technicalities of VW filters. But back flow valves keep oil in the bearings longer,when the cars shut off. And bypass valves keep dirty oil flowing to the bearings when the filter plugs up. Turbos don't like dirty oil or oil starvation. I guess if you drive your car everyday, and change your oil, it won't matter. But if it sits for a few days and drains, and you hear rattling noises when it starts, for a second or two, well, Maybe...... its not too good an idea for a couple of bucks.

Agree. I was going to mention the reasons of the valve but your post has all the info needed. I just don't remember using a filter without a valve. Interesting that there is such a thing.
