Spin on oil filter

[Dave M]

Anyone know which spin on filter is the best one to fit, I can get one from Rimmers but im sure there must be better quality ones available. Managed to get hold of Valvoline 20/50 VR1 racing oil from Allwoods for £17.00 so want to fit a decent filter.

Cheers

Here are a few to choose from

UnipartGFE173

Champion c104

FramPH2964

Crossland 691

I think they might fit a Ford Fiesta as well which gives you lots of choice but im not 100% on that.

Unipart ones have never given me any grief.

All these filters are made by 2 companies Sogefi in South Wales (Crossland & Fram) and Wix filtration now in Poland make the others I think.

I always use Fram as I know the guys who make them!!

Mines a Fram too - it seems to be the majority filter at my local factors, but from what I've seen here they might charge a bit more for the VR1 than some........

Managed to geta ChampionC104 from Halfords, and the one I replaced was a Crossland 691 which came from Rimmers which surprised me as i thought theirs would have been from some unknown manufacturer. Anyway oil changed and all ready to head to Runswick Bay for the Triumph weekend. Thanks for the advice.
