filters
Is there a preference for fuel,oil and air filters for the 240D or are Napa or or Wix or whatever okay?

This is a very controversial area here, perhaps second only to "what kind of oil should I use?" We all have opinions. I suggest you search the forum, you will find many hours of reading material. In the simplest terms, buy whatever filter makes you happy.

All of the companies that I have checked on make the Secondary (spin on) fuel filter of 10 Microns. If you want finer filteration than 10 microns see this thread Lowest Micron Fuel Filter Rating: http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/diesel-discussion/222713-lowest-fuel-filter-micron-rating.html?highlight=lowest+micron+fuel+filter |

The NAPA 1385 (WIX 51385) list their filter as able to filter 32 Nominal Micron Rating. (A Nominal Micron Rating means that on the first pass throught the filter 1/2 of the particles 32 Micron size are filtered out.)The he diameter of a human hair is listed on some web sites as being 70 Microns thick. Do you want particles aproxomimately 1/2 the size the diameter of a human hair being circulated through your engine. The full flow portion of the Bosch and other filters are rated in the 19-20 Nominal Micron or less. Besides the NAPA 1385; NAPA also sells Preimum "Bosch Type" oil filter for $1 more. WIX is one of the companies that most often list the Micron ragings of their filters If you would like to take a look. http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlookup/index.asp You can look your filter up by vehicle, WIX number or Competitor number. If you use a competitior number you will go to a page where the WIX number is blue colored. Click on the blue colored WIX number and the filter specs will appear in their own window. |
