Pinto oil filter?
 

Can anyone with a 2.0 efi Pinto tell me if this is the correct oil filter?
I just picked it up from my local Ford dealer, he assures me it's correct.

The one on my 1800 is a short fat one, as is AshG's 1600.
I can't check on the engine, it's a bit of a jaunt. 500miles to be exact.:D

Cheers David

there are defo 2 sizes.... mine is the short dumpy one... the one like yours is too long for use with oil cooler plate..
sorry cant help with numbers

If memory serves correct EFL 90,Transit OHC's etc springs to mind but I would not think it matters greatly the size as long as threads and seal face match oil filter and I seem to remember the CVH being a skinny filter.

Looks a bit long to me.

This is the only fitment guide I can find David

As Paul said

If it has a 3/4" BSP thread & will physicaly fit, it'll do the job

My 1987 Pinto engined Transit has a short dumpy filter 95mm long

I think your ford parts man is having an off day prob saw efl 90 and picked up efl 600
Ray

You need a shorter filter if you are useing a sandwich plate or you cant get it to clear the engine mounting.

Cheers for all the help guys.
Im going to change it for the short dumpy one.
At least I know if it don't fit the Sierra It'll fit my Transit.
