I did the oil filter conversion to my car last year but forgot to write down the part number for the screw on oil filter. Can anybody help please.
-
Shouldn't need the part number mate. They're a standard thing throughout the range I think, so should be no issues at the parts dept! Occasionally come up on the bay too.
-
Had a look on trade club and it lists all v6,s (2.5/2.6/3.0/3.2) as 9192426.Cant see how thats right as earlier 2.5/3.0 had the screw on type your looking for. :-\
-
Don't know about actual part number, but wasn't VOF 93 or something similar stamped on them :-\

It's a screw on type, with different part number to the ones Albs found.

It can be right as all those engines (at some point) have been fitted with the paper element filter.
93178952 is the metal one.

Ask for a VOF93 at any VX dealer, thats the easiest way. It fits a multitude of vehicles, including my 1.8 work Cav.

Re-fit the proper filter ::) ::)

I am going to do the same as I went to do an oil change and some morron had over tightened the cap >:( before I got the car and when I tried to get the cap off the whole thing turned and it broke off some of the webbing inside >:(

Dont like the so called "proper one". Always had problems with getting the cap off,

and I've never seen the point in the conversion. Never had a problem with the ally cap ;) ;) ;)
Admittedly they caps are plastic, but both the Smart & R Class have a paper element cartridge oil filter.

And it makes such a mess. I've just converted mine for this reason.
Paper filters are OK if they're in a vertical housing with the cap on the top, or where the entire housing hangs down and unscrews like on an A-series.
Any parts supplier should be able to cross the Vauxhall VOF93 with whatever they supply, but here are some more: Bosch P3079; Mann W712; Mahle OC90. I did this a few years back with a filter for a 472 Caddy V8, the damaged one on the engine was an American brand I'd never heard of, and UK books don't list Cadillacs. With a bit of searching through the books, the local truck factor had them on the shelf as they were used on some generator.

Just found this.

I think that is it (VOF93) but why does the ebay seller say estate only and that it won't fit a 1998 saloon?
-
Had a laugh at my local dealer the other day. Ordered 2 oil filters for the following cars, 98 1.6 Astra, 04 1.8 Astra, 00 2.0 Astra and 09 1.8 Astra.
They all came in different boxes with different part numbers and yes you have guessed it all the same flters in the different boxes except for the 09 1.8 Astra as that is the element type.

Omega V6 paper ones I find less messy than spin ons ???

the messiness is the last thing on your mind when the things on so tight it brakes the filter wrench >:( my car was previously worked on by someone who had 4000-5000NM torque wrenches for hands >:( >:( >:(

Yeah, though the incompitence of the previous technician is hardly the fault of the filter.

Oh yeah defo. was just sayin :y i'm with you on that though... I find the paper one on the v6 just the same in terms of messiness as the cartridge ones

That's maybe why I've never had a problem with mine ::) ::)
(and I don't think I've ever used my torque wrench on it ::)

Must admit I ALWAYS use a torque wrench as I simply cannot judge such a low setting, always feels way too loose to me and if it wasn't for the torque wrench I KNOW I'd overtighten it .. and as for cam cover bolts .... :)
-
.. .. and as for cam cover bolts .... :)
On one cam cover job, I set my torque wrench and set about tightening up the cam cover bolts. It's only a cheap 3/8" affair, and I waited for the click ...... it didn't happen until way above what I instinctively knew it should have done. I went & borrowed another to do the job & to use as a reference. If I'd had blind faith in it, the bolts would've been way too tight. I only use it for cam covers because as well as a low torque, it's as important to get them all the same ...... ;) Most other occasions it stays in the tool box
-
Hi guys,what is the correct torque setting when refitting the paper type filter ?
-
Should be stamped on the lid - 15 Nm if memory serves :)
Do NOT over tighten
-
Thanks for that , got to wait till the weather improves till I put her on the ramps.
