Oil filters
« on: July 17, 2023, 10:32:50 AM »
Just curious to know where people source their oil filters from. Just so I can avoid the unscrupulous suppliers. Talking 550/750 in particular.

I tend to go for a brand that I have heard of rather than completely unknown or unbranded.
I presently also use HiFlo.

I once inherited a Boshi oil filer with a vehicle - when I fitted it the oil light kept flashing on so a mile later I replaced it with a Mahle. A cheap rip of of Bosch I guess.
