    Opel Oil Filters....

    Hey,

    Had a look under the bonnet and it looks like the stocky oil filters are a bit different to most aussie cars?!?

    I lookied in the filter book today and found a K&N one thats listed to fit, but it looks like a very different type?

    Does the whole complete standard unit come off easily for the new one to replace?

    Jase

    if it's like the veccy and the sri astra, then it's just a cartridge filter inside an alloy case, the rest i think are just typical filters.

    i think he meant a normal scerw of filter jase.
    i dont think you could, as the case sorta locks into the block, i dont think there is any screw point there.

    i am still under the impression you just unscrew it, maby it might be worth giving your local holden dealers a ring.
