Do these look genuine?

The box I have here has a hologram on the box and says long life on the filter after the p/n. The ones in the link say GM after the p/n.

I'm not 100%, but I'd be guessing no based on the fact it doesn't mention the brand.

Sorry I put the photo link up by mistake. Here is the advert page link.

Maybe I am wrong https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Vauxhall-Oil-Filter-95509857/292424792988?epid=654656479&hash=item4415e03b9c:g:k2UAAOSwbe5aayF9

The boxes with the holograms appear to be a Vauxhall specific, so Polish parts would be Opel and may not have that on the box.

I agree, GM/Vauxhall don't make them themselves. There will be packaging variations between the actual manufacturer and factory that GM commissioned them from. And also the intended market. The product spec will be the same.

Is £19.94 delivered for six filters a good deal?
What are the dealers charging?

 The VOF 93 was dropped in favour of a long life filter.
Don't know the long lifes number

Don't know the long lifes number

95509857 / 6-50-104 = GM (Long Life)
93156954 = VOF93 Vauxhall but now superceded

Incidentally is the replacement a bit squatter but otherwise the same dimensions than the VOF93? 10mm? Or is it the other way round?

Why worry about it? Buy and fit an appropriate filter, and then do something important. I have some paint drying that you could watch........

I have to agree. If like me, you change your oil and filter every 3 or 4k, it is not an issue to be concerned about.

Because they don't have GM/Vauxhall, and they might hurt the engine.. Can I come and watch your paint dry, I could bring some curry, ,,

I do mine annually, whether it needs it or not; that's been about 9k miles for the last few years, so there was an easy 3k more in it.


If using semi-synthetic in a modern, managed engine  there is no point in changing at the low mileage suggested here.

[Shackeng]

Yes, but I only do about 3k per year, and it gives me something to do!

[Bigron]

I don't know what all the fuss is abput; my old Renault 4 never had an oil filter at all!
