Oil Filter?

[Rhin0]

Hi peeps, need to do an oil change and filter on my cef pretty soon and information in the uk is pretty limited. I'm guessing the oil filter would be the same as a r32?? the engine is a 2ltr non turbo, believe it's just called a rb20e. Also should I use semi synthetic oil?

Ok, cheers.

I'm guessing thats a world wide code? Also how much oil needs to be put in the engine? As I mentioned details in uk are not at hand much.

that's a ryco oil filter number. not sure of the distribution of ryco in the uk?

anyway, here is the genuine filter number:

1520855Y00

In a cold country, i'd probably run a semi-synthetic 15w50. i've heard motul is good. but, i'm using united oil atm

I always use the Cooper equivalent as I've heard some bad things about Ryco filter quality.

In regards to the oil, I run Penrite Syn 5 10w60 (I think) as I figure my old motor would appreciate the thicker oil at high temps. In my old car I had clicking at high RPM and tried heaps of oils and this one was the only one that reduced the noise so I've stuck with it

i'm running ryco at the moment. no problems thus far but have head that the seals can pop out under higher pressure.

next change i'll switch to osaka.
