Remote bypass oil filtration

[Ry_Tower]

For cars, it is usually better to use the oil with an AP approved rating that is latest.

OMG, my dad just informed me, the LF3487 apparently is leaking, we are using the everest off road into bad road conditions and when he went home yesterday and check the vehicle this morning all of the oil was gone... he said the rim around the oil filter is full of dripping oil... im confirm later when he removes the filter if indeed it was the cause of the oil leakage...

Any serious off road action can damage a oil filter, especially if it is hit by debris. Or bottoms out on something. The LF3487 has a pretty thick base plate compared to a OEM filter. Hopefully you guys did not damage anything.

I also thought the Everest had the same engine as the Ranger which is the WLT engine which does not have a 3/4 16th thread pattern. I am not sure that LF3487 is even the right filter for that engine.

I believe the 2.5 WL-T Everest engine should have a LF3689 or BD28 which has a M26 x 1.5 thread pattern.

But I could be wrong, I could never figure out the why the ranger and everest would have a different filter if they are the same engine.

The newer 3.0 liter ones have a different filter. I'll look into it.

i can assure you no physical damage to the filter, the filter is very safe in its place, its tucked at the side of the engine, and its mainly mud and soil that the vehicle travels not gravel... its just that my father got stuck on the mud because it suddenly rained. it took 8 people who help pull the vehicle that he was able to get out of the mud pit. the engine did put out its max power... but just wondering why will be damn filter will leak.

Still get contradicting part numbers for the Ranger/Everest.

JS filters list it as the LF3689 but if you match it with a VIC C-101 it's the LF3487. Guess someone else needs to step in to clear this one up.

Yes the old WLT 2.5 Ford engine has the BD28, same with the 4d56 of Mitsu. I found out about this when I bought a Bosch oil filter, they have that imprinted in the box.
