Iseki TU167 filters: which ones do you need and when?
Iseki TU167 filters: which ones do you need and when?
An Iseki TU167 (or TU147, TU157, TU177) has four filters that need regular attention: the oil filter, fuel filter, air filter and hydraulic filter. Below we explain what each filter does and when you should replace or clean it.
Suitable for the entire series: Iseki Landhope TU147, TU157, TU167 and TU177 (2WD and 4WD versions).
Iseki TU167 filters: overview
| Filter | Function | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Oil filter | Keeps the engine oil clean, crucial for oil pressure | Every 100 hours, together with the engine oil |
| Fuel filter | Keeps dirt and water out of the fuel system, prevents clogged injectors | Every 300 hours, or sooner if fuel quality is questionable |
| Air filter | Keeps dust and dirt out of the combustion air | Clean the element periodically (check every 100 hours), replace if visibly dirty or damaged |
| Hydraulic filter | Keeps the transmission/hydraulic oil clean (shared system, see our fluids page) | Clean or replace every 300 hours |
Iseki TU167: why a clogged air filter has more impact than you think
A clogged air filter is one of the most underestimated causes of problems with these engines. The factory manual shows that a clogged air filter can directly lead to white smoke at the exhaust and insufficient engine power. So it's not just a maintenance item, but also one of the first things to check if your tractor is underperforming or smoking — see our troubleshooting page for the complete diagnosis.
Iseki TU167: tip when changing the engine oil
When draining the engine oil, you'll also come across the drain plug gasket. This small gasket is often forgotten, but reusing an old, flattened drain plug gasket regularly causes a seeping leak at the drain plug. So replace it as standard with every oil change.
Shop4trac tip: instead of ordering separate filters, the complete filter set Iseki TU Landhope (€28.50) is the most convenient choice: oil, fuel and air filter plus drain plug gasket in one package, specifically suitable for TU127/137/147/157/167/177. If you're only looking for the hydraulic filter, check out the hydraulic filter Iseki TF15-TF23/TU145-TU217 (€38.50).
