Title: Cannister Oil Filter
Post by: amba on 01 May 2009, 17:04:36
Need to do an oil change over the weekend and thought I had a spare GM oil filter,but must have used it last time.
I will be using genuine GM oil,but is ther any down side to using a non branded filter(Halfrauds etc)?? as I am unable to get to dealers now till after weekend break.

Should be OK, I would have thought. Might be best to use the Champion branded ones than the Hafrauds own but I've used both in the past without catastrophe.

Even with a halfords TC the Genuine oil filter is still cheaper lol for a V6 anyway!

Yep - no issues here, but stick with Vx 10/40 semi synthetic oil.
