Which oil filter?

[jam.]

Ok, excuse the n00bish question - but what oil filter do I need for my car? (mk2 ph1 1.4 16v) - I'm planning on doing an oil change tomorrow, but am not to sure what filter I'm supposed to be looking for.

Theres no mention in the Haynes manual or handbook (unless I am, infact a blind idiot), and from what I've read on here, some people say to either pick up a random £5 one for a 1.4 engine, or get a specific model for the car.

What am I looking for?

cheers.

GSF? I feel like such a girl; I haven't got a clue what that is.

Cheers chaps, ideally I'd get one from halfrauds or the local motorfactors tomorrow - so preferably not online or from Renault (as my local garage is a bit of a drive away).

You'll be able to go in and pick up a quality oil filter (either genuine or mann filter depending on stock) same day too. None of this cheaper halfords rubbish.

one in trafford park, its masssive.

 

[jam.]

Riiiitey ho, the plan was to get the gear from a local place in my lunch hour tomorrow and then sort it when I finish work. Is the gear in halfords (or my local autofactors) THAT inferior? Surely they do a compatible one?

I can't really get to and from Trafford park in an hour & really wanted to get it sorted tomorrow.

Cheers

 

[Fred@BTM]

is your car going to blow up if you don't do it tomorrow?

 

[jam.]

haha, no I could just do with getting it done though.
Plus I've got a hunch it's been overfilled slightly (no, not by me).

For peace of mind, and as it seems your eager to get it done, just buy a decent quality one. Not worth risking it IMO.
