Hi all
I have an 1100S engine with a spin on WIX WL7098 oil filter.
Does anyone know the equivalent Ryco filter number.

Phil

Z82 is one of them, Z418 is another.

I buy Unipart ones now from Karcraft, (they used to carry Wix), they are cheaper there by the dozen.

82 became 418. They fit Toyota, Mini and others.

Ryco are made in China or somewhere now, these days filterz is filterz...
Don't believe Ryco's marketing BS.

Be very careful of Ryco oil filters. Last one I purchased I found a metal filing on the o ring. Gave it a tap in the palm of my hand and another half dozen metal filings came out. Returned it and checked another 3 on the shelf, same thing. Might have been a bad batch, but I haven't used one since.

I have given up on Ryco. They are not manufacturers any more, they are importers.
If I'm going to get an imported filter I might as well buy a quality one and not one from the lowest bidder.

I've found in the past that Coopers, Cooper, Wix, Unipart, Valvoline were all good. Repco seem OK in my Falcon.

I currently use Unipart, as that's what Kc has in stock since they ran out of Wix.
I won't use Fram since reading US reports of how shoddy their assembly is.
