jbenajes Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hello, I would appreciate if somebody could post the commercial references of the cartridge for the original oil filter in a TR3A. Thanks. Jesus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodri Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I would think that it is the same as the TR4 one which is Crosland GFE104. However, my local motor factors sold me a Crosland 414, they assure me it is correct, but I haven't yet taken the old one out to compare them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Elliott Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I have been using the Crosland 414 oil filter for the last several oil changes. In the past, I have used FRAM C-870PL also the AC-33 (Made in England) and UniPart GFE 104. These filters are all supposed to be equivalent and measure close to 1.25" inside diameter, 2.87 inch outside diameter and 5.43 inches long. The Crosland filters come with 3 black rubber seals. You select the one you like (I use the widest one) and you fit it into the aluminium housing before you install the new filter and the outer steel casing. Be sure you get the old seal out of the groove before you re-assemble it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodri Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Thank you Don- the suppliers assured me that it was the correct filter , and they were in stock for about £1.50 each. I believe they are used inside commercial gearboxes ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbenajes Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thanks for all the answers. In the meantime I have obtained some more information. Really it was as easy as entering the web page of the manufacturer (MANN, PUROLATOR) and searching after Make and Model. Dimensions listed in some of these pages are similar to those posted by you, Don. It seems that following references should be also valid for the TR2 – TR4A range (aside from other makes like MG and AH): FRAM CH815PL1 FIAMM FA4009 CROSLAND 418 (not fully sure) MANN H804t PUROLATOR L30052 AC-Delco AC33 Regards.

john minchin Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 I always go for the Mini Automatic / Metro Automatic filter as Halfords stock it. I hope that is correct for the last 10 years I have been using them !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ferris Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 This is all quite timely for me as I have just acquired a TR3A and intend to change oil etc as I don't know when it was last done. Any suggestions/recommendations on which oil to go for ? Thanks John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
