The MF 240 uses the Perkins AD3.152 three-cylinder diesel — the same engine fitted to the MF 135. The spin-on oil filter OEM number is 1447082M1, and every aftermarket cross-reference that fits the MF 135 fits the MF 240 identically.
Change interval: Every 200 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Reduce to 100-hour intervals in dusty or heavy-duty conditions.
Oil capacity: 6.5 quarts (6.1 litres) with filter. Use SAE 15W-40 diesel engine oil. In sustained cold below -10°C (14°F), 10W-30 is acceptable.
Installation: Apply a thin film of clean oil to the new filter's rubber gasket. Hand-tighten until the gasket contacts the mounting face, then turn a further 3/4 turn. Do not use a filter wrench to tighten.
MF 135 compatibility: If you find MF 135 oil filter listings while sourcing parts, they will fit your MF 240. The AD3.152 engine and spin-on filter mount are identical across both models.
