[Filters & Oil] Info please

[axxeman]

Hello guys, just bought a 62 plate van and have been desperately trying to find the specs for this model, but to no avail.  I believe that it's a 625Kg 1.6 HDi (75ps) L1 Enterprise.

I am trying to ascertain what type of oil it takes, (viscosity, synth or semi, etc) and what micron value the fuel filter employs? I also have no handbook or user manual, so if there's a link to all the vehicle specifications, I would be very grateful.
Many thanks.

I've got an 18 plate 625 enterprise 1.6 hdi, and all the records of oil changes show 0W30. I got it second hand, but at least the previous owners gave the service history to me.

Thanks Luke. I did think that it was 5w30 and fully synthetic. Do your records show that it was fully synthetic? I have emigrated over from years with a Ford Transit Connect, so this is totally alien to me.

the bottles I have had state that it's fully synthetic. I apologise that my reply may be late, and of no further use to you. If you're in doubt, you should be able to ask advice from a garage who will be able to look on their magic systems and tell you for free.

Far from it Luke; I am just eager to know what spares from the Ford are still going to be of use to me going forward. I did message my local garage man in the week and the lazy sod didn't reply. Just need to get the fuel filter info now.

An 18 plate could have the 1.5 engine which does indeed have 0-30 or even 0-20'

We have a 2007 with a 1.6 engine and that uses 5-30

It is my understanding that all modern oils are synthetic unless it states otherwise. My classic land rover still uses 20-50 mineral oil

I have a 625kg 1.6 hdi 75 enterprise van 2012 
The motor is a DV6ETED


It is happy on 5w30 or 0w 30 according to the latest PSA spec. but it must be low sap Citroen
/Pug variant and full synthetic
Air filter is 1444tv, oil filter is 1109ay.
The oem manufacturer is Mahl
Both are very easy to change.
If you have the luck of the devil and/or specialist tools the fuel filter change will be straightforward
If not, it will be hours of entertainment.

Very helpful thank you. The fuel filter on my Ford was simple to do so now I am filled with trepidation. Are you able to tell me what the micron rating is?

[shtu]

You don't need to fuss about that - buy a part that fits from a decent brand, eg, I bought a Bosch one for about £20. Mahle was mentioned, Mann, Hengst, Febi, there's umpteen out there.

I don't recall the fuel filter being especially difficult or needing special tools, apart from the usual terrible access which goes for everything under the bonnet.

[evdama]

You will get whatever micron the filter manufacturer sees fit ,so as shtu says just get a reputable brand.

The primer button  on the fuel filter housing sometimes 'doesn't' leaving you to use a priming pump or just cranking the engine over with no fuel in an injector system that relies on the presence of fuel for its own self preservation
You never know-you might get lucky.
