Oil Filter
 

Right, just been down to halfrauds and am going to change fuel and oil filter.... mini service basically until i have cash for a proper service....

anyway........theres two types of oil filter in halfords... both have different names but have the same thread on them to screw them on.

only main difference is the blue one is a little bit bigger/longer where as the white one isnt....... the one on my car now is blue but it doesnt say halfords on it. any ideas guys? rep available and its a 02 VTS

Cheers

i want to do it today though thats the only thing

so you mean there the same apart from the name then and colour

are they both the same size diamter where you screw it onto the plate

if they are you choose which 1 you want

im sure halfords do 2 makes of everything there own brand and another

there both halfords own make but they have different names.... in the halfords book theres two different part numbers and everything

no sure if they changed the vts filters so cant help anymore im afraid

gay 16s ;)

how far do you live from halfords or can you get there anyway else apart from your car as you could take yours off and go match it up

cheeky :P

about 2 mins away and thats good thinking mate lol why i didnt think of that i dont know

cheers buddy

iv just checked where you live and i think that could be why you didnt think of it ;)

no probs mate

:omg: that hurts...... :sad:

im sorry you geordies arent to bad ;)

I'm due a filter change, performance filters worth the extra few quid?

not imo just paying for a name they both do same job

you just dont stop do ya ;) twice as hurtful lol

im sure the halfords code on my 02 plate vts is HOF306, jsut buy both and return the one thats not right

thank you. that was one of the codes...... 306 and 204

what colour was it?

pass no idea it might have been blue, or i might be thinking of the vtr one and vice versa. Im sure its the 306 you need but buy both and take the other back

will do, sound

thanks everyone for ya help :)

I was thinking 306 too. Buy both, take the other back. Avoid the champion ones. They are week and easily burned by the manifold

well dude i've about a billion million more services than i would like to remeber at work and tbh it doesnt really matter aslong as the thread is the same and the rubber seal fits nice you'll be fine :A: check for leaks after filling up etc tho
