MG3 (2011–2024) Oil Filter Cross-Reference

✓ Technically reviewed by Daniel Wei Chen — Senior Chinese Automotive Diagnostics & Repair Specialist, Sydney, Australia · 20 August 2026.

The older MG3’s 1.5 engine (code 15S4U, 80 kW) takes the genuine filter LPW100180 — verified aftermarket equivalent: MANN W 713/28, confirmed from MANN’s official application catalogue. It is the same filter as the first-generation ZS 1.5 (that page here) — same engine family, one workshop stock line for both. But read the thread warning below before you buy anything by model name.

The numbers

Item	Number	Verification
Genuine (OE)	LPW100180	MANN’s product page lists it as the MG MOTOR UK OE number for W 713/28; multiple independent genuine-part listings (MG Motor UK / SAIC packaging) confirm it for MG3 1.5 2013–2021 — the same number serves MG5, MG6, ZS 1.5 and the Roewe family
MANN-FILTER	W 713/28	MANN official vehicle catalogue: MG (SAIC) → 3 (11–17) → 1.5L 15S4U (session 20 Aug 2026)

Physical specification (verify by eye before fitting)

Outer diameter	76 mm

⚠ The thread trap. Two different oil-filter threads live under the MG badge: the old N-series engines (this MG3, ZS G1 1.5) use 13/16-16 UN, while newer MG engines take M20×1.5 filters. Popular aftermarket numbers with M20×1.5 thread — however often they appear next to “MG” in search results — do not fit this engine. A filter that threads on wrong for three turns and jams is the expensive version of this lesson. Match the thread, not the badge.

Oil to go with it

The older MG3 takes 5W-20 (ACEA A1/B1), 4.5 litres — not the 0W-20 of newer MGs. Full verified fluid specs: older MG3 oil & fluids guide.

What we don’t list yet

Air, cabin and fuel filters for this application return no results in the MANN regional catalogue we verified against, and we haven’t confirmed numbers from a second source — so we don’t publish them yet. They’ll be added when verified, likely from our workshop-partner programme.
