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
Robbo

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