OEM vs Purflux retail oil filter

[PerthRS]

G'day squad,
Was just doing some browsing online on clio miscellaneous things.
Found out that the OEM oil filter manufacturer (Purflux) also sells a retail version that isn't renault branded or packaged for the clio 2.
OEM part number: 8200768913
Purflux part number: LS932
They seem to be exactly the same from what I can tell. Just without the aforementioned Renault branding or packaging.

Has anyone dealt with/used the LS932 before?
As for me its much easier to source then getting a 'Renault' one sent over to Aus or going through a stealership (dealership).

Attached are images for your reference.

looks identical that! ive used loads of cheapo oil filters with no issues so id certainly not have any issues with that one!

Yeah that's the ones I use after a tip off that they manufactured the Renault ones. Certainly seems identical and had zero issues.

Thanks guys!

As OEM ones are a little steep (especially locally) this definetly is a better alternative if they are the same.

I wouldn't be surprised if they have/had multiple OE suppliers for things like the oil filter.

Purflux are the OEM

The only thing Renault make are the bodyshells tbh, everything else even down to dashboards and steering wheels are made by other companies

Yeah Purflux made the oil filter and cabin filter.

Used ls932 on the megane f4r for years no issues. I bulk buy them from autodoc.

Someone did cut a few apart once to compare them all Mick maybe? Do a search and should pop up 👍

Used ls932 On pretty much all the F series Renaults I’ve worked on. No issues. Then again I’ve used a fair few Bosch filters

This is a sample image from Fred. That now lives in Australia.

Left to right
Genuine Renault/Purflux, Ryco (Z608), Repco (local retail automotive brand. Equivilant to your Halfords).
Can see that the genuine has significantly more surface area. With the anti-drainback valve also being over better quality and the base plate being much thicker.

Ryco - the clue is in the name lol (Ripping You C*nts Off). The most overpriced and poor quality stuff around. Plenty of better and cheaper options.
