The final thing holding up my dry sump install from being finished is a simple oil filter. The one which came off was a Mann+Hummel W7008 so I was going to replace like for like, but 2 companies have now let me down with delivery (first one sent wrong items, 2nd one just didn't turn up) and I soooooo want to get it fired up for the weekend.

So what are you using, and does it make any difference if I pick up a pattern part filter from the local parts place, or do I risk issues? It will be replaced frequently, certainly no more than 1000 miles so can I stick anything on or should I wait for the better quality item?

For reference its a 2.0 duratec putting out somewhere around 270bhp.

I use http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-6655-oil-filter-ufi-oi... which is the same as Caterham use. I sure others would do but this one is a good size. I got a stockpile of them if your stuck!

I don't have a Duratec, but I always use a Ford filter on my Sigma working on the idea that Ford should know what works best.
They aren't expensive from proper Ford dealers on Ebay.
