well its time for my first oil change on this car but i cant seem to find any definitive answers as to what oil filter i should be using.

ive tried the Ryco website stating that its a Z442 but now that i get it home, its way too small to fit on there.

the one thats currently on it doesnt appear to have any markings leading me to the model number or size

so what filters do you guys use?

had the same problem, except i went by the books instead of checking the previous oil filter on mine. z442 was too small for me as well. ended up sticking to the ryco Z145A that was originally came off the car. works a treat.

Stick with genuine parts and u wont have a problem. For a Sump washer and filter its under 10 bucks.u cant go wrong.

Part number 15208-h8911au, its the larger of the two oil filter that can go on there. this one is made in thailand

there is nothing wrong with the ryco filters (you will find that they make a large amount of the "genuine" filters on cars and make all filters to OEM spec). as for which filter to use, just look at whats on there. if it is a non genuine one just match the numbers

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
