Thread: oil filters again......Td5

For the centrifugal filter I would use the genuine LR filter. They were only $2 more than an aftermarket type anyway. I am still on my free supply of aftermarket filters after a bulk pack was found to be hitting the top of the housing. These aftermarket filters do not have really clear indication of who made it. It all comes in a box with green diamond's all linked together and a part number #EER 6299. It also has 'Quality Spare Parts EEC Countries' with a 'I' & 'A' or could be 'IA' as the symbol.

As for the spin on I use Ryco and they are about $32 from memory.

Cheers,

do you know the number of the ryco...?
are you happy with them...?

I usually buy these from Repco. The store near here does not stock these so I have to source it from another store. Ring and check first to see if in stock & get them in.

As for the quality of Ryco...well they must be the number one preferred aftermarket oil filter. I have not had a problem with them in all the cars I have owned. You must feel that they are safe to use. Imagine the class action if they were found to be faulty.

Cheers.

I use all OE filters from the local LR parts dept. It takes out the "I'm not really sure" component of protecting the engine.

There was a huge kerfluffell when Ryco filters started being made overseas,, but the warranty remained the same, so in the end,, Australia just seemed to get over it.

Mine have always been cooper. I have used a couple of local suppliers and they all seem to use them. The Centrafuge on looks to be genuine.

I use a replacement Cooper oil filter filter, part No 1035 interchangeable with
Z 418, change every 5000km, these are slightly smaller than the originals but a lot cheaper to buy and easier to fit.

i prefer cooper to ryco.........
but ryco are more easily available these days....
who stocks cooper......is there much difference in price.....?
if not for the cost of genuine i would be using them as i have been till now....
but i am struggling a bit at the moment and trying to save a few dollars where i can......
hence the reason for this little survey.....

besides.....i think the cost of a genuine filter is a bit of a rort.....from a dealership....
