Hello

I am swapping the engine on my 2014 LR4 because the previous owner used a cheap oil filter which collapsed. I figured I should share my experience.

For the people who are looking to add winches here is a new good place for a negative lead. Also a picture of the frame ends.

do you have a pic of the collapsed filer?

Why I ask is that collapsed filters are either due to the filter media becoming completely clogged and/or the bypass valve failing. Our cartridge type filters do not contain a bypass valve like an external filter can style would. The bypass is a separate component. Putting a fresh filter will not correct a potentially faulty oil bypass and you could end up with the same problem.

Here are some pictures. I believe the bypass element is located at the top of the oil filter cap.
