hey guys got a s ervice coming up and was looking at the different oil filters. just wondering what is the difference between a greedy one and a cheap one apart from the price.
You will be using an oil filter every 6,000 miles when you change the oil, just go for cheap OEM as the filter won\'t be on for as long as a piston engined car, plus you will be topping up with fresh oil more regularly :)
Having seen most of them come of a production line i would say there is little to no difference.
fram, coopers, unipart, halfords and most of the OEM ones are all off the same line but go in different boxes.

Always suspected as much :2Rolleyes
I always get mine from Clive at MRP as even with postage they usually work out cheaper than Halfrauds.
Ive used a mazda standard oem, a R magic and a Re-A one and cannot honestly tell any difference whatsoever.
Although since using the tuners models i seem not to use any oil whatsoever ????
Dunno how that works but it seems too:Hammer
In my experience Halfords ones seem to be a slightly easier fit (I have a sandwich plate for running some extra gauges)
