Crosland oil filters

[wavinwayne]

Have any of you ever used one of these filters?

I was looking for an extra-large oil filter for my VW 1.8T. A picture of this Crosland filter is shown on Advance Auto Parts' website as a cross-reference to a Purolator L40316.

The Crosland filter is actually listed as a Beck-Arnley, but the picture shows a Crosland. To see the picture for yourself, search Advance Auto's site for an oil filter for a 1985 Volvo 760GLE with the 2.4L Turbo Diesel (don't ask)

Any information that you guys can provide on this brand of filter would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I believe it's a British brand...

I've used Crosland filters many times on my AJ6 and V12 engine Jaguars, and have never had an issue with them.

Never bothered to cut one open - they are built very robust and wasn't much interested in taking the time to open one up.

The Croslands I have in my inventory are subs for Jaguar EBC9658 and were all made in Nottingham, England.

Win,

Where did you buy the Crosland filters?

WorldPac sites carry Crosland for a lot of Euro applications.

http://www.foreigncarpartsonline.com/ is a good one.
