Hi,

Please can someone help me out...I've always used a Fram PH2854 oil filter when servicing the S, however, these seem to have been withdrawn and Replaced with PH5660. I think the PH5660 is taller than the PH2854 at 74mm. Does anyone have experience using this filter or another brand? My usual motor factors can also get a Bosch alternative but this is 69mm tall, again I worry it may not squeeze in easily past the chassis. Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks,

Ralph

Update the Mann filter fits great and is only 65mm tall. The filter that came off the car was the ufi one and is taller at 69mm ish. I'll go for the Mann one in future because the shallower height does make it easier to get into position.
