"Hi I recently bought a Ryco oil filter "z62" to my amazement it wouldnt fit my 1969 Gt capri 1600 ,the lip on oil filter face would not clear the spickott on oil pump face,anybody else encounter this problem? thanks" This question is from 17/8/06 but got no replys
Mine is the same problem,also I have a workshop manual that came with the car it said to put in 7.2 pints of oil with a filter change converts to 4 liters so i put in 3 now I have to take some out its got me beat

V6 Oil Filter: Ryco Z38 or Valvoline V067

I've used the Ryco Z62 for the 1600 but haven't come across the problem you're having, it's been a while since it was on the road though. I only learnt recently that the new filters don't fit and am unsure about which one to use.

I'm not sure what's going on with your oil capacity, do you have a modified sump?

I've just checked the online Ryco catalogue and, interestingly, they no longer list any oil filter for the 1600. I tried looking under Escort and Cortina and found reference to a R2220P for '68 to '71 models. Not sure if this one would be better.

I checked the V6 listing and also noticed that there was a specific note saying not to use a Z9, only use Z38. I had heard that a Z9 could be used for the V6 without a problem.

sorry guys I cant remember the number for the 1600 but can remember it is the same as the Escort - the pumps are different, byt the filters are the same
