The nice people who i bought my rover 45 off didn't supply me with an owners handbook and i'm a little confused as to which grade of engine oil i should be using.
just want to top it up at the moment. will be taking the car in for a cam belt change soon and probably a service as the nice people who i got the car off last may didn't service it either.
It's not the same filter as your rover but it is the same as mine - I was rather shocked -- so went straight off to honda! BUY OEM as even the unipart ones look to be identical to halfords ones (admittedly not the worst but for £3 extra not worth it)
After that read I'm never using filters from a factors now. Honda charged me £10 plus a sump plug washer(evil aluminium things) for nowt thrown in. Cannot moan at that as halfords one was £6.99 with no washer.
Plus I wondered why the frauds filter was a pig to fit... its wider than the oem so it gets in the way of the alternator more easily hence my issues. A big up as the filter is hidden on the D series. K's are alot nicer job-buy quality, seems to save pennies in the long run
I replied because there was a post dated today that has now been deleted asking for a suggestion of brand of oil..it would of been post 15 and my post was 16 but now 15
becoming less of an issue, with so many garages vacuuming the oil out.
