Hi all, newbie here, just bought myself an Omega estate 2.6 CDX 2001 model, was just wondering which type of oil filter is fitted to my car, ie, paper element or spin on type. If its spin on type what part no would it be. P.s. From what I have read so far, this seems to be a brilliant and helpful forum, I have an engineering background so I do pretty much all my own maintenance and repair on my cars, but as this is my first foray into Omega ownership I reckon I'll be on here a lot with plenty of questions. Thanks, Bikerdon.

Should be the element unless some body has changed it to the spin on. 
Welcome to the forum

Thanks for that, are there any specific parts needed for changing it to spin on type.

Nooooooo!!!! ...... not another spin on vs paper filter thread

Don't fix what's not broken

You can get the threaded pipe to convert from a dealer not sure the part number it is on here somewhere I changed mine because some Gorilla tightened the top and it broke the webbing inside so it was cheaper to replace with the correct spin on type.

Thanks for all the advice, I'll get underneath tomorrow and check what type it is, if its the element type and it comes apart ok then I'll stick with that rather than changing it to a spin on.

Sorry Don ...... you just happened to be the next person to mention spin on vs paper element. There was a long 'debate' discussing the pro's & con's recently.

It left the factory with a paper element. Of course, it may have been changed to a spin-on by a former owner for reasons that rarely make technical sense.

fixed that for you

Spin on Filter is 93156954 and the paper on is 9192426

Thanks for the part numbers, will check what is fitted when it stops raining in Glasgow. (might be a while. Lol)

Assuming its paper element type - take note of the torque figure cast on the lid and tighten it up to that figure. People tend to run into problems when they are tightened beyond that figure. I cant remember the figure at the moment,which is shameful. It should be indelibly etched into my memory by now.

15Nm iirc

I think you do.
