in Wiki it shows the oil filter with two O rings and says they need to be changed when changing the filter
some one has put what looks like two small O rings in the place where it looks like a thicker O ring should be
land rover dont know about the small O ring
dose any one know anything about this O ring

Such o-rings are usually supplied in the packet with the filter, possibly inside the filter.

I have a new filter in a box in the car I have a look see

Fram filter this is all that's in the box

i have contacted two land rover dealers and they haven't got a clue about the small O ring RR 2005 4.4 petrol

When I get home Monday I’ll check what’s in my spare filter package (I think I have one - if not I’ll check at my local indy workshop on Tuesday). Ron B. VK2OTC

All come with big o-ring and washer. Since it's bmw engine you can check if they sell this small o ring separate.

yes i was thinking that
next time i change the filter i will take the centre out of the filter body and take it over to them, see what they say RR 2005 4.4 petrol

changed my oil and filter to day
looked in to the o ring situation and it was not good
spent three quarters of the day going to land rover specialists and bmw, none of them have a clue about the o ring and never new it had one until i showed it to them
to get the o ring you have to buy a new filter unit
land rover over $600, bmw over $300 RR 2005 4.4 petrol

My TD6 oil filters only come with the larger 'O' ring and Al or Cu ring

Buy the kits with various sizes of 'O' rings, I have metric and imperial kits, NBR / Viton / Nitrile, also kits to make up my own larger 'O rings. Get good quality kits and select the right material for the intended application.

Never stuck this way.

Use these kits at sea, and also make our own larger 'O' rings, when we do not have an original spares,very rarely have any trouble with these kits.

if the seal is not sealing the oil bypasses the filter so the engine is getting unfiltered oil RR 2005 4.4 petrol

Gahh! I forgot. I just went out to the garage and I don't have a spare. I was at the workshop yesterday and today and forgot. I won't be back there until next week.
