I'm not keen on fitting it lol

Fram is good filters theyre usually bigger than standard ones, aslong as its for your model its fine

jaygsi 31 July 2013 05:42 PM

Ordered it online, the end that screws in looks the same, just longer, is that better?

Steve's Sti 31 July 2013 06:01 PM

I wouldnt worry about it as not all the oil filters are the same size, fram, blue point etc they all good especially if you change them frequently

jaygsi 31 July 2013 06:21 PM

Yes i try to change oil every 2000 miles. I was thinking of getting the Drift Magnetic Performance Oil Filter instead, not sure if worth it as only be on car 5mins lol
