Re: Oil Filter?

Virtually all post war AEC engines use either

LF 4003 transfers to AEC/Multipart part no ABU 8053 which is a cartridge
LF 4017 transfers to AEC/Multipart part no ABU 8535 which is a canister
Various other Fleetguard canisters will fit and/or are stocked by some suppliers.

Except for:

AEC V8 740 800 801
2x LF 598 AEC part no. ABU 8547 cartridge

AEC TL12 L12
2x LF 3357 AEC part no. ABU 8050 cartridge

Most Leyland engines use
LF 4005 Leyland Part no. 10617959 cartridge

Some early 600 engines use
LF 4096 Leyland part no. 317188 cartridge

Re: Oil Filter?

Thanks for the comprehensive response Roy.

I was hoping to get to my bus today to have proper look at the filter but I've got called into work (something about cold wet stuff stopping my colleagues who live closer; from getting in). I will (hopefully) get up at the weekend to check before ordering.

My bus number (if any): RMF2771
