Oil filter (Peugeot J5)

Since July 1983, the oil filter has had a bypass valve and only filters with such a valve should be installed. This filter differs in the diameter of the threaded connection. If the filter has a thread diameter of M20x1.5, then the filter has a bypass valve. From the stated production date, bypass valves are not installed on the engine. The identification numbers of the filters are naturally also different. The filter is located on the bottom side of the cylinder block (see Figure 91).



To remove the oil filter, use a tie strap. Otherwise, you can place a piece of sandpaper on the filter, with the sandpaper facing the filter, grab the filter with both hands and unscrew it. If it is not possible to unscrew the filter in this way, insert a powerful screwdriver into the filter housing and use it to unscrew the oil filter like a lever. The oil that leaks out must be wiped off.

Clean the mating surface on the cylinder block thoroughly. Lubricate the sealing ring of the new filter with engine oil and screw the filter until it fits against the cylinder block. From this position, tighten the filter another 3/4 turn.



Check the oil level in the oil sump. If the filter was replaced as part of routine maintenance, pour the prescribed amount of oil into the engine, that is, in this case, 3.5 liters.
