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.

[jonny2112]

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

Check this item out on the bay 321018196618

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?
