Jaguar OEM filter cut open (heavy pics)

jfin2002 · Jan 2, 2011

Changed the oil and filter on my GFs 2005 Jaguar S Type 4.2liter v8 today. Car has 52k and history of several different oils and filters used. Cut open the Jag OEM filter and was VERY pleased with the quality. This filter was on the Jag for 5k using Valvoline Dino. Replaced with Mobile Clean 5000 and a Purolator Pure one filter. Does anyone know who makes the Jaguar OEM filter??

It kinda resembes a wix, but it has no spring.
It really looks like a purolator.

Since Jag was, until recently, a part of Ford, Purolator is the likely probability because of the Motorcraft connection.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. Looks good though, thanks for the pics!

Was the Jag 4.2 motor a borrowed Ford motor, or a Jag motor?

It is made by a company in England Ford has outsourced to. I will get back with the name but I'm 99% sure.

Crosland UK. Made filters for Ford Euro cars. No similarity whatsoever to a Purolator other than it has a can around it.

Good looking filter. Next time use the MS "Image Resizer" before uploading:

One of the best tools I've come across in years.

All, I apologize for the large pics, yes next time I will re-size before posting.

Thank you for helping me get my money's worth out of my ISP, haha. No problem here though, thanks for them, something different to see. Looks like a good old school filter, honest material, honest labor, honest original product.

thanks for cutting that baby open! It is not a cheap filter. I believe the Land Rover version (same filter) is like $18!

I LOVE that center tube it's loaded with large holes!

jfin2002 · Jan 3, 2011

Yes I agree! The core on this filter was amazing. I would think this filter has to flow VERY well!

Hokiefyd · Jan 3, 2011

The filter will only flow as much as the center threaded hole allows, right? In other words, as long as the total area of every tube perforation exceeds that of the relatively small center threaded hole, the tube's not a restriction, right?
