I am unfamiliar with the brand so unable to comment on the application but the problem you have is common throughout the filter world and there are several reasons for it... Factories around the world produce fairly limited types of filters and they buy from each other to make up a fairly comprehensive range to fill up their catalogues and some companies don't even bother to have their own brand and part number applied to them but simply put one manufacturer's filter in their own box. Some oil filter suppliers don't make filters at all and simply buy in what they need and sometimes they buy from application and cross reference catalogues and sometimes they buy by dimensions - thread size, canister size, etc. The trouble is, cross referencing doesn't happen in a straight line. Out of the multiple thousands made it isn't unusual to discover many different filters originally intended for different application that are physically similar enough to allow buyers to choose the most profitable option and when they discover a more profitable option or they have a supply problem they bring in a substitute and invent a new part number. Take the part number of a filter from a catalogue and cross reference it in another catalogue and cross reference the resulting other part number in a different catalogue and then cross reference that in the original catalogue and it logically should produce the original part number - wrong! At least it is mostly wrong and some of those filters being offered as suitable fitments are poor substitutes fitted only by the gullible or the profit-hungry. Unless fitting a dealer part ensure the replacement is identical to the one you are removing and don't forget to look inside for a valve. Most of this of course applies mostly to spin-on filters rather than the new fangled paper element type though even with those it pays to be careful due to reports of some being made of inferior material. If two part numbers are offered a wise person takes both on sale or return for obvious reasons...

Do this when the engine is COLD! You will need the thermostat, gaskets and gasket sealant. The basic method is... Locate the Thermostat housing. On your vehicle it should be on the gearbox end of the engine. To check, find the largest hose at the top of the radiator and follow it back towards the engine. Drain the coolant from the system into a suitable container. If there isn't a drain plug fitted in the bottom of the radiator you will need to remove a hose from the bottom of the radiator. Remove the bolts holding the housing in place. They should not be in that tight. Remove the old thermostat. Clean the area where the old gasket sat. It needs to be bare metal. Stuff a small rag in the hole to stop any rubbish falling into the coolant system. Fit the new thermostat with the spring end going into the engine. Apply a small amount of sealant to the face on the engine side to hold the gasket in place. Apply another Small amount of sealant around the whole face of the Housing. Refit the housing. Tighten the bolts by hand then tighten to the correct torque setting. (17 to 20Nm, 12.5 to 17ft/lbs). Refill the coolant system. Start the engine and run at idle until it reaches working temperature. This will open the thermostat allowing the radiator to fill. Stop the engine and Recheck the coolant level. Run the vehicle for two or three days checking the coolant levels regularly.
