filter

[caney]

evening all, when i changed my oil and filter i used a none toyota filter,since the change i have a tapping on start up fron cold,tapp goes as oil pressure comes up, would the none gen filter cause this?

[MattF]

Filter wouldn't cause that, I shouldn't think. I use Toyota oil filters, and mine always sounds like a bag of spanners when cold. Oil would be more likely. Have you changed type or viscosity?

no, used 10\40 semi syn oil, i was told toyota filter had a valve thingy in it, thats why i thought filter.

Some have the anti-drainback valve, some don't. That valve only serves the purpose of retaining some oil in the filter for startup. It wouldn't lead to a noisy engine until it warmed up though. That only makes a difference for the first second or two on startup.

In honesty, unless the noise worsens, I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt many, (if any), of these engines still purr from cold.

ta for info, as i say it only taps for a few mins, then runs like a rolls royce, a hum?

the top end on my truck rattles like a rattly thing.If the oil pressure is half way up then its ok but as soon as the oil pressure goes down a bit it rattles all the time.
I think i need to get the shims replaced in mine as this only happened when i blew the turbo a couple of years ago and lost oil pressure and high temps

Ahem:

ahem oh finneky arse i was just pointing out mine didnt

mine doesnt rattle either, quiet as a mouse, ish

i was running 15w40 mineral as this is supposed to quieten them a bit but now on 5w30 fully synthetic mobil one diesel oil and its much better.
