ebay is banned from work but I always buy a Champion X312 oil filter but a Hi Flo equivalent will do the same job

I bought and fitted one one of those ebay ones. It was cheap and came quikly.
Can,t tell you much about it other than it looks identical to original, and it well urrmmm filters as far as i know.
If you change your oil quite often and don't go over service intervals i don't think there would be that much difference over a "named" more expensive variety. All they do is a very simple job and if the filter element has the same gaps between fibres and filtration capacity then they are both as capable as each other.

Got one sat on me shelf - not fitted it yet though, but it looks an OK item.
Bought the Armstrong HH pads from eBay, fitted those and they seem OK also. Let you know after Donington this weekend!
