Hi, me again.

Are there 2 different oil filters for Omega?
If so, what year/engine number did they change?

Thanks,  Eddie.

[TheBoy]

yup, you either have the metal screw on canister one, or the disposeable paper element one.

[TheBoy]

Easiest way to tell is to have a look at which type you have...

[Markjay]

This is what the NEW type oil filter looks like:





The picture on the right shows the whole unit removed from the engine block, but keep in mind that in order to replace the paper element there is no need to remove the entire container - you simply unscrew the top lid, replace the paper element and rubber seal (supplied with the paper element), and screw back the lid and torque-tighten to 15NM.


The OLD type oil filter on the otherhand looks just like any old oil filter.... i.e. cansiter screw-on type.

My 2002's the same as yours TD, piece of cake to change.

[TheBoy]

Generally, they changed around V reg.  However, it is possible to get a new adapter to allow old style filter on newer cars.

And at £2 a pop cheaper, I know which I use

Or late T ... like mine.

Same here, you can eat your lunch and change the filter at the same time its that easy.

None of this jacking the car up business  

2.2's maybe slower on the road, but we get there a hell of lot faster cause its quicker to service!  

[TheBoy]

I bet you can get to your knock sensors easy as well
