Oil Filters for the RR 02 p38
Guys which oil filters are best? Atlantic British has a small selection. Most say "short" filters. I'll buy a case of which ever you guys recommend.

I use a napa gold filter. Seems to work fine. I might try a different one just for heck of it though... Since using it my rover has developed a subtle moan. My other car didn't like it either. The moan could be unrelated to the filter, but we'll see when I change it out. I've heard frams are pretty good. Personally, I will just go with an OEM one from the dealership. My other cars seem to like it more when they get a filter that was actually designed for them.

Atlantic British has the following:
"genuine equipment" @$12 Brand "Mahle" @ $6 Brand "K&N" @ $14 Brand "Mahle (short) 6 filters for $32 Has anyone out there on the forum have any opinion on any of the non original equipment oil filters? I'm assuming OEM and "genuine equipment" means the same thing right??? |

For V8's I use the long ones, I can only assume there's enough clearance on the RR. Wix - Long 51512 Wix - Short 51068 Baldwin - Long B2 I pay about $5 each locally for the 51515.

To be honest I just use whatever the shop puts in. Its last oil change just happened at the dealer so I am back to OEM parts. But I have not noticed any change from what my local shop uses. I just use synthetic oil thats my big concern.

Any of you guys replaced your pollen filters recently? I just got mine from Atlantic British, when I took out the old ones I have a feeling they were original! They were awful!
|
Thanks for the suggestions. Anyone else out there have any different experiences good or bad? Thanks in advance.

Only use a Top of the line filter, my choice is either a Mobil 1-301 or a K&N 3001. |

But I agree they likely charge big bucks for it. |
It works for me, my 98 Disco with 200,000 miles did not seem to mind when I sold it. I think alot of the money you pay for a K&N filter is in the name. But that being said, is it really worth my time and money to go buy a oil filter to give them? I already change my oil every 6 months or 5,000 miles with synthetic. I don't think I will be to concerned right now as the dealer just did the oil change. But if you guys think it is worth the money I would probably rather use an OEM filter I can get them cheaper.
