The warning comes from MANN-FILTER who say two different oil filters are recommended for some popular Citroën and Peugeot 1.6 HDi applications, depending on the engine code.
In a statement, MANN-FILTER said: “This is particularly the case for MANN-FILTER HU 716/2 x and HU 7033 z.
“HU 716/2 x is specific for Euro 4 and 5 engines and the new to range HU 7033 z is engineered for Euro 6 engines only.
“It is important to remember that these part numbers are not interchangeable due to a difference in the supplied housing
seal.
“HU 716/2 x has a black square sectioned seal and HU 7033 z has a green O-ring seal made from viton rubber.”
The company said that loss of oil could occur if the correct precautions are not taken and that leaks could potential cause component and engine damage.
Applications using the new HU 7033 z are Citroen and Peugeot HDi with the following engine codes: BHX (DV6FC), DV6FC, DV6FD and DV6FE.
