General Information

TOC

A full flow filter or a combination oil filter is present on the N14 engine. The upper portion of the combination filter contains the full flow filter element while the lower portion contains the bypass filter element.

Oil circulates through the full flow portion of the filter, into the oil cooler housing, and is directed to the engine oil rifles.

A smaller portion of the oil circulates through the lower bypass portion of the filter and is dumped back to the oil pan sump.

 CAUTION 

Limited use of oils such as 5W-30 or 10W-30 can aid in starting the engine and providing sufficient oil flow at ambient temperatures below -5°C [23°F]. However, the continuous use of low viscosity oils can decrease engine life. Refer to the accompanying chart.
