hi guys,

i am getting a bit confuse on these 1.9JTD105 oil filter. seems like there are many version than can be used but my question is why there are many version? :confused:

as far as i know, prior 2001 1.9JTD105 should use the filter with 90mm height. but most of the shops only either selling with either 100mm or 70mm height. what i can see is if the oil filter is too long, like 100mm, it is very close to the exhaust pipe which might cook the engine oil.

i think Tecnocar filter is OEM for Fiat and according to e-catalog, i should use R126 (90mm). however most of them only carry R352 (100mm) or R519 (70mm). can anyone share your view on this? it is really matter?

thank you.
 
its ok to use a smaller filter (or a larger one if you have the space), the only difference is how much crap they can hold. obviously a smaller filter will need changing sooner because it will get full or crap sooner.
 
hi guys,

i found the tecnocar R126 filters. it is 90mm in height and it is the correct size recommended for 1.9 JTD105. when i look a the filter location, using 100mm filter might have a potential of 'cooking' engine oil bcos it is too close with the exhaust pipe. by having additional 10mm gap, i think the oil temperature inside the filter will be cooler.

that is the only rational i can think of.
