Subject:      Oil Level Lifters With Mann W 719/30 Oil Filter
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi all.

Changed the oil on my 2.1 WBX
installing a Mann W 719/30 filter after
checking with my vendor that it was the correct part.
Put in 15W-40 diesel engine oil
don't know what was in there prior.
I see little mention of this filter in the archives.

I noticed two things:

- occasional lifter clatter engine cold. Stops in a few seconds
- engine cold, oil level up to top notch
  engine up to temp, oil 1/2 way between notches.

I think the answers are "yes", but can anyone confirm if
this filter is prone to leaking down after engine shut down
thus causing oil level to go up on dipstick and on occasion, noisy lifters?

Thanks

Neil.
