How much should you pay for an oil filter for a williams?

Also do you need any special tool to get the drain plug offf, time for the cup cars oil to come out and replace with expensive race fluid!!!! Only done 150 miles since i had ot back but im one that likes to change the fluids regularly....lol

150 miles??? What kind of oil do you use?
"special tool to get the drain plug off" -> doorhandle (+ pipe) ;)

the sump key is around 3.50 from Halfrauds, filter should be around 5quid for genuine i think, see what you have on, it may be an after market one with a nut on the top, mine came off real easy with my filter ratched strap, shouldnt be too tight

sounds bloody expensive to me!

Shouldnt you let it run in for more than 150 miles on the new engine before an oil change?
