Original Oil Filter

[Stagnant]

Hello all,
I've just changed my oil and filter and on re-assembling the filter parts the Haynes manual clearly shows two washers between the spring and the bit that looks like a flying saucer (one way valve?). Well I didn't appear to have these so I put a copper washer in their place so the spring/valve sat nicely together.
While cleaning up I then found the washers , a thin steel washer and a slightly deformed black plastic one.
Do I need to drain down the oil to re-fit the correct washers, or will the copper one be doing the job?

Cheers, Mark.

X2^ makes an oil change much much easier and cleaner

Thanks. The diagram wasn't the problem, I've got those. My question was whether it needs to be those washers specifically.

As for the spin-on conversion, they look good but I was worried about another leak possibility. But if enough people have them, they can't be bad!

Cheers,
Mark.

What is the spec of the K&N and does it fit the Mocal Spin On Oil cartridge adapter?

You won't lose all your oil if you remove the filter as its above the sump, just a filter full

What is the spec of the K&N and does it fit the Mocal Spin On Oil cartridge adapter?

Kev

|Yes it does and it is high spec because of where the bypass valve is located. I think if you do a search on here there was a lot of discussion on this very topic.

I have been using the K&N filter and vr1 for a couple of years now both work very well on the stag.
