I have just found out I have been fitting the wrong oil filter a Mann

my petrol engine this seams to be for the diesel engined model even
though
it is the same size in all respects......I should have been be
fitting a
Mann w75/3 .....This has a bypass pressure of 1.3 bar and the diesel
one
has
a bypass pressure of 2.0......will I have done any damage to my
engine
given
that the bypass doesn't only operate when the filter is blocked but
also
opens when the oil is cold etc.....


How long has it been running with the "wrong" filter in?

coming up for four years ......

30,000 miles



= 7,500 miles per year. Why bother with diesel for that
mileage ?.


Maybe that's why he's running a petrol car?
