FAQs

What vehicles is this filter compatible with?

This filter is designed for a range of Jaguar and Land Rover models; always cross-reference your specific VIN with the part number BFO4160.

Can I use this as a replacement for OEM 4H236714BA?

Yes, the BFO4160 is manufactured to serve as a reliable aftermarket replacement for OEM parts including 4H236714BA and 02C2N3587.

What are the physical dimensions of the BFO4160?

The filter has a height of 105 mm, an outer diameter of 76 mm, and a UNF 1-12 thread.

Should I pre-fill the filter before installation?

While not strictly required, pre-filling the filter with a small amount of clean oil can help achieve oil pressure slightly faster during the first start.

How often should I change this oil filter?

You should follow the oil change intervals recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, typically performed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or annually.

What is the purpose of the anti-return valve?

The anti-return valve keeps oil inside the filter when the engine is off, preventing a 'dry start' and reducing engine wear.

Troubleshooting

Oil leaking from the filter base after installation

Ensure the old gasket was removed from the engine block and that the new filter is tightened to the correct specification.

Difficulty removing the old filter

Use a specialized oil filter wrench that fits the 76 mm diameter to avoid damaging the mounting threads.

Engine oil pressure warning light remains on

Check oil levels immediately; if the level is correct, verify the filter is installed correctly and not blocked by debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality filtration protects critical engine components from wear
  • Reliable alternative to OEM parts like 02C2N3587
  • Prevents dry starts using an effective anti-return valve
  • Durable housing ensures structural integrity under oil pressure

Cons

  • Requires specific tools for spin-on removal and installation
  • Compatibility is limited to specific Jaguar and Land Rover platforms
  • Requires proper torque during installation to prevent leaks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installing the BFO4160, ensure the engine is cool and the vehicle is safely raised. Begin by removing the old filter using an appropriate filter wrench, and verify that the old rubber gasket has been removed from the mounting surface. Apply a light film of clean engine oil to the new rubber gasket of the BFO4160, then thread it on by hand until it makes contact with the housing, followed by an additional three-quarter turn. Always consult your vehicle service manual for the correct oil capacity and oil grade recommended for your specific engine code to ensure maximum longevity.
