Hi,
I was about to change the oil on my VZ and I already have a new cartridge for the filter, but I got to wondering if it was possible to get a cartridge that has a non return valve in it?
The reason is, my car has always had a nasty rattle at the top of the engine when it is first started for about 3 or 4 seconds. It makes my teeth grind every time I hear it. From What 've heard it is pretty common for this engine. Oil changes do imorove the rattle. It only lasts about a second after a new oil change, but it slowly gets longer as the oil gets older. I know a lot of the jap imports run with oil filters with non return valves to keep the oil up the top after switching off and figured there is probly one for the alloytechs as well.
Anyone ever seen/used one?
