In answer to my own question Run Auto is fast becoming an Aussie AF or Island for a bunch of useful items

Just go to Repco or equivalent and grab all the Ryco filters.

They work perfectly, meet all specs.

I use them all the time without issue

Just a word of warning.

The last Ryco oil filter I bought came with the O ring they all do for the housing, but it started to leak very badly after a few thousand km, only just caught it in time, there was no oil showing on the dipstick.

When I pulled it and checked the O ring, it didn't stand proud of the housing, so wouldn't seal. The Mahle stood out considerably more, even when comparing second hand ones.

On the D3 it's a square section ring that sits in the gully so one of the corners protrudes

I've had no trouble with Ryco previously.

I'm liking the look of this. I love a kit. They do the Mahle oil filter as well for $11

front and rear rotors and pads done as well as park brake shoes and fluid flush, was a busy weekend.

That's odd, every filter I've done there is a decent interference proud of the housing.

That entire "kit" using Mann Filters costs me $147.00
