Oil Filters - best quality
Discussion
Has anybody got views on the best quality oil filters to buy There seems to be such a variance in prices from a couple of quid to up to £15.
I googled the following:
'Today, most low-cost disposable spin-on oil filters use cellulose filter media. Better quality oil filters use synthetic media, while top end oil filter use "MicroGlass" or extremely fine metal mesh"
However that doesn't help much because most parts shops wouldn't be able to tell me what their filters are made of. Whether the oil filter has a one way valve or not is probably not that relevant as the filter sits vertically, having said that most of the quality filters have a one way valve.
The Rover ERR3340 seems to carry a premium but am I just paying for the name?
