I've always used the K&N HP-2002. Looks like it'll be about the same size as the one you've just removed. Can be had from eBay for about £14 inc. P&P - maybe not the cheapest filters but I do love the nut on the bottom! |

As good as K&N are, I always thought it was good practice to fit the biggest filter the space will allow, as you'll want the largest area filtration as possible. Mind you, alot of modern cars have teeny weeny filters..... |

Did the oil change today - and as much as I love the K&N nut feature on their filters, I was cursing it today. The garage had fitted the last one after the head work, and I guess they used a gun to tighten it. Damn thing would not budge. Ended up rounding off the nut, despite using a socket and ratchet. So I had to resort to the old screwdriver and hammer trick.  Also managed to completely under estimate the rate that the oil was going to come out at - offering up a funnel to catch the oil in one hand, ratchet in the other, suddenly oils squirting everywhere! Down my arm, all over my shoulder, splashes in the face, hair...

This caused me soooo much grief, I just did´nt know where to look next for my oil overheating problem. It may be due to the age of the part or over tightning the filter.
