z170=3/4"-16-UNF-2B, 70-94-99=2.8 petrol MQ Patrol
z115=3/4"-16-UNF-2B, 70-94-142=4.0 petrol MK Patrol
z170=3/4"-16-UNF-2B, 70-94-99=4.2 petrol carby GQ Patrol
z115=3/4"-16-UNF-2B, 70-94-142=4.2 diesel GQ Patrol
z145a=3/4"-16-UNF-2B, 63-82-102=3.0 petrol GQ Patrol *** check seal surface to make sure seal fits!
z503=3/4"-16-UNF-2B, 70-94-127=one of the TD42 filters GU non turbo Patrol
z503=3/4"-16-UNF-2B, 70-94-127=one of the TD42T filters GU series 1 Patrol
So i can use the Z9 on the above as they are much cheaper and more available.
Note*these filters below are different thread sizes.
R2154P = cartridge filter, G60
R2419P = cartridge filter, MQ SD33 diesel
Z149 = 1"-12-UNF-2B, 70-94-178= MK SD33 non turbo and SD33T turbo diesel
Z416 = 1"-12-UNF-2B, 70-97-127 is used on 2.8TD and second filter on GU TD42 non turbo and TD42T turbo diesel series 1
Z547 = M20-x1.5-6H, 63-68-86= 4.5 and 4.8 petrol Patrol
R2593P = cartridge filter, 3.0TD Patrol
Are there any disadvantages with using z9’s in place of z503’s?
I only ask because I have a couple of z9's sitting in a cupboard from when I had an Falcon.
Do they have an anti drain valve?
How do they go fitting into the limited space on the TD42i as I think they are a bit longer?

Hi, I have a 2006 Nissan Patrol, with the 4.2TDi diesel motor. Normally I use Z503 oil filters. However I have a couple of Z9 oil filters sitting in a cupboard. They have the same thread as the Z503's & both types have an anti drain back valve, so I am wondering if there is any reason I should not use the two Z9's on my next oil change? I would welcome your advice on this.
Thanks,
Elsewhere I read a response to the same question from Ryco which said you could use the Z9 in place of the Z503 but not the other way around,....... but do so at your own risk, our warrant wont cover you.Quote:
Hello Cuppa
Thank you for your enquiry. The two filters while looking similar we do not recommend as directly interchangeable as they have different internal valving. The Z503 only has anti-drain back valve whereas the Z9 has the anti-drain back valve and a relief valve. Our recommendations are designed to ensure that the filter works to it maximum specification and performance for that particular application. We recommend you use the correct filter for your vehicle to ensure that you have the maximum coverage of our warranty in the event you were to experience any problems. Hope this information is useful.
Regards Ryco Customer Service
