Champion F136 Oil Filter

[glyn211269]

From the lengthy discussions elsewhere on the forum it looks like this Champion filter is the one to have to get a good reading on the oil pressure random-o-meter worry guage.

But I'm having trouble finding one or even being able to order one - any help in finding one would be appreciated!

Cheers, Glyn

Halfords one i had was too chunky and a pain to fit.

Im on my second Champion F136 filter now, halfords for £11.29. Always have one on the shelf.

Ok, cheers guys. It must just be the dappy old bag that works in my Halfords then. I'll try another branch instead!

my old halfords filter was a right pain. Gave me zero pressure at idle when warm (oil temp 100) and when i tried to remove it i had to smash the hell out of it and deform it to get it past the subframe.

Dont do it, whats wrong with genuine?

the same issues with lower oil pressure on the new type renault filters the previous version produced more pressure, the F136 is same or similar dimension to original renault but from what i read gives decent pressure
