Diesel oil filter and map version

adyadad · 14-02-2020, 03:52 PM

Hi all.
I need to do an oil change on the daughter's 2015 diesel but need to know if it's an element or cartridge type. Can anyone confirm and give the Ryco number please?
On a side note, how do I check the map version on the wife's 2016? I don't think it was updated last service and it's almost due again.
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Please ignore this response I thought we were talking a Territory rather than a Mondeo. It says this one cartridge one: https://www.rycofilters.com.au/catal...ex/part/R2662P here: https://www.rycofilters.com.au/Searc...ar=2015&liter=

Thanks Blue but I went to the site and it said Z2999 for an MD. The closest to the 2663 is R2662P for an MB.
Now I'm really confused as to the right one.

Oops Sorry I thought it was diesel Territory. My fault trying to reply to too many threads at once. Yes; so its Z999 spin on per https://www.rycofilters.com.au/Searc...ar=2015&liter= and https://www.rycofilters.com.au/catal...ndex/part/Z999 and you need to but a new single used sump plug https://www.rycofilters.com.au/catal...ex/part/RFA303

PS: Another good reason to always specify the vehicle when asking a question. Yes; it was in the Mondeo section but I always just search by new posts.

Thanks Blue. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Interesting that. I get mine serviced by a local mechanic, and always provide my own oil and filter. Will provide a sump plug next service.

Then there's the special plastic sump plug remover installer tool: https://www.lasertools.co.uk/product/6928 and https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Plastic-...wAAOSwp-RaaFOy I am not sure any of this is an advance in car service technology. You can bulk by the plugs https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-PSA...-/264289774760

This may help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq4cI-RjaWU looks like the servos probably reuse that single use bung. Also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLUwxCYH5VU and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln43g2fnLGU

And for the air and fuel filter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKJmOoccmag

You have to admire his sense of humour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZCUrqADWR0 Probably worth all Mk 5 Diesel owners subscribing to his channel. He has fleet of them as taxis so he is going to find and tell you about all sorts of interesting things.

And don't forget to check/change the cabin filter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cT3...nKuk7&index=23

Appreciate the assistance Blue. While I've been working on cars since I was about 10 (I'm now 60), I'm new to the mondeo and their quirks so it's just a matter if getting used to it.
I've never had a car that changes the cabin filter every 15000. They've all been at 30k.
I might even have a go at making one of the plug removal tools. It looks easy. I've got a lathe and a milling machine so it shouldn't take too long.

From the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq4cI-RjaWU it looks easy enough to screw in and out by hand; just heed the warning young fellow (I'm 67 this year) about getting burnt with the massive amount of hot oil that pours out.

adyadad · 15-02-2020, 09:15 AM

Haha. I like the term young fellow.
It does look easy to remove by hand but then you risk being burnt.
I'd more than likely set it up like a socket on an L bar.
I've been caught out before.

The company I work for is a Tridon distributor. Their part number is TDP001. It's a twin pack. Have found this sump plug fits MD Mondeo diesel and petrol, also other Ford / Citroen / Peugeot applications.

Hey BigD, I find it interesting that they change the sump plugs between models. My 2014 TDCi Kuga TXMA uses a M10 plug. https://automotivesuperstore.com.au/smart-o-r28bp1

Does Tridon have anything at this size?

Hows that tune going?

thebigd · 24-02-2020, 10:10 AM

Hi ivorya.
Unfortunately they don't do that one. They have a short range of three plastic sump plugs only. The TDP001 is the Ford plug, and it covers Mondeo, Focus, Endura & Escape.
And yes, the tune is great. Best $625 mod ever.
