Oil Filter
« on: 24 July 2009, 16:01:59 »
Is there any difference between the various oil filters that you can purchase. I was looking at a K&N one with the nut on top. Any comments would be appreciated.

Mine is a screw one, but is there any difference in them apart from the price perhaps.

K & N ones are supossed to have a better flow & handle heat better but the genuine vauxhall one is whats designed originally for that engine so i would just stick with them.
They are only £3 or £4 from the dealers or if your in the trade club i think there only around £2.
