I've just bought a Mahle OX404D oil filter for my N47 Mini Clubvan for £11.89 delivered - pretty happy with that.

I've seen TJ filters on eBay for £5.99 - not a brand I had heard of before, they appear to be part of Tetrosyl so hopefully not made in someones shed. Half the price has to be attractive - but are they any good? Torn between a desire not to pay over-the-odds for a known brand vs not wanting to wreck my engine in order to save £6.

Does anyone have any experience to share?

I'd avoid personally, seem to be cheap junk.
used one once and the fitment was horrible, never again.
