Oil Filters
A couple of years ago I found a US based amateur independant website where a bloke had tested a wide range of oil filters himself to report on them objectively.
The basis was to break the myth that only vehicle manufacturers genuine filters were any better than a cheap aftermarket one. It was interesting in that it drilled down to what you were getting for the extra money.
The upshot was that that the extra cash went on the valve material inside and on ways to make the filter medium not collapse with load.

Thanks, I've seen this make years ago but as with most makers stuff is produced in PRC and packed locally. Won't give an example, but fuel pumps come to mind.
The filter was F30328 fuel but no water sensor just a drain tap. David.

Boshi
Only make I would not use to date is one that came with my old r3mR as a spare from Milner Off Road it was an oil filter made by Boshi and I had problems with it when I did an oil change.
I threw the new fuel filter that also came with the vehicle straight in the bin. I used either Nissan or Mahle after that.

Boshi not Bosch
I know it sounds odd but it is Boshi I suspect its a trick by a Chinese manufacturer to make people think its Bosch !!
Not sure if Milners still do them though.
P.S. Bosch now sell oil filters too not just brake & electrical products. A google search will reveal both.

Which ever oil filter you choose, if it takes more than two seconds for the oil pressure light to go out on cold starts... then choose another.
For the same reason, I always 3/4 + fill the filter with new oil prior to fitting, so the engine isn't running without oil for all those seconds the oil pressure is starting to build up
OK some cars you have no choice as the filter is on it's side:doh

That's why I always buy mine from Nissan/Ford/Toyota.
I now have a new toy, A Toyota MR2 MK2, what a shape.

Boschi woes
I changed my oil & filter using a Boschi filter on the old r3mR and when I started it it took about ten seconds for the oil light to go out - not unusual for a first start up after an oil change.
About half an hour later when I was about to go out the oil light stayed on for another ten seconds ! I quickly realised that the none return valve was not working and was allowing the oil filter contents to drain back to the sump or there was just a huge back pressure to overcome ?
Changed the filter for a Mahle and the light went out almost instantly. Could have been a bad filter but never had this before over the last 50 years of changing oil filters. Now its Manufacturers filters or Mahle for me.

Rather than start a new thread, which oil and fuel filter to buy?
I need to replace the fuel and oil filters, it's a toss up between Mann and Crosland.
At the moment Mann has the edge on oil filters, anyone against that?
Last one was a Blue print, seems ok, oil pressure was there in a second or so of starting, even after a week.
Last fuel filter was a Nissan as earlier cheap ones never sealed on the face.
