| Post subject: | dodgy oil filters |
Can someone please let me know what the oil filter problem was that was discussed on this Forum some time ago. I think Doc had some ideas about the "white ones". Sorry I can't seem to find the relevant Thread. Having some issues with possible low oil pressure after an oil/filter change (no not the Mini). |

The one I won't buy is Fram, this vid and the other links on the page is why.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kX0xrqvlsNI As for Ryco, these, the Cooper filters and many others sold here now they all come from China- so why pay more for a Ryco... I buy Wix filters from Karcraft now, if you buy a dozen they are cheaper. 
Better than a Fram.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNDpzyu0 ... re=related |

Yeah that's an old filter thread, but there was another or more that's more recent. I reckon these days Wix are great, they are not made in China either- parent company is American but their Mini ones are made in Poland. At $5 or so if you buy in quantity, why pay $11+ for a Ryco...

Thanks for all your responses. All good info. I am wondering though if anyone has had any oil pressure/delivery problems with Ryco brand oil filters? |

can you buy the canister type oil filter in the Wix variety local then?? that is, the non screw on disposable type all in one filter if so where? I am open to trying all types of improvment just now, cheers |

Nope, if you have a canister (it's an auto, right?) just buy the regular filters from Karcraft. GP236/1 suits the MiniMatic, their price is under $10. Change the oil often and the filter too. Like, 2,000 miles max. Spin-on filters are not available for these automatics, they won't stand the oil pressure in the box's hydraulic system. People in the US and Japan have tried... |

I think Karcraft's `matic filters are Coopers, according to my current cattledog.
I would trust them more than current (Chinese) Ryco filters. |
