Never knew a bigger filter created more oil pressure? Is there an anti drain back valve on the filters? Or running low on oil? I have a 2000 Disco 2 My sister gave it to me several years ago now. When I received it. The original owner never did any maintenance on it at all. I knew this because of my initial assessment after I got it up and running. Oil leaks, bad serpentine belt and idlers. Coolant leaks. An then I was losing coolant mysteriously. After a month I finally found the culprit. Head gaskets. So I started compling parts for the repairs. Plugs, wires, a full updated head gasket set, new head bolts. New water pump and thermostat. Belts and idlers. New crank seal Before I started my task. I started spraying my engine bay with cleaner. My task took me close to a week of cleaning and reassembling. To this day, I have not loss any coolant. The truck doesn't burn any oil. Idle smooth. As the years came and went, I went through the entire drive train. Pulling front and rear differentials, cleaning the housings and fresh oil. New front drive line. Front and rear wheel bearings. New brakes and rotors. It's been 7 years now. I don't mind the work. It's just the same as my 03 Chevy maintenance items too.

I’ve heard that using a larger oil filter might cause a slight delay in oil pressure build-up during cold starts, though that’s just a rumor and may not be entirely accurate. I haven’t personally measured any before-and-after pressure differences, but since I had a box of these filters, I’ve continued using them without any issues. On the 2003 Discovery, there was a batch known for cracked oil pump gears, which often led to pressure problems. So, when I heard that these filters might help prevent pressure loss, I figured it couldn’t hurt to use them.
