500 miles per oil change/filter? That's really nothing at all!

I wonder if thats a typo, as that oil doesn't look to me like its only done 500 miles. Maybe thats just petrol usage rather than LPG though.

Nope not a typo i've run a few oils through it to clean it out.

I've just seen this thread. I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to oil filters and always try and stick to genuine.

If I'm ordering parts I usually try and chuck a couple in the basket, especially if it's Island 4x4 and I need to get to £50 for the free next day delivery.

I use genuine ones if it's a regularly scheduled oil change.

I've used a few Mahle ones recently while trying to get to the bottom of my oil pressure issue. Before it went off the road it went through several oil changes over a couple of weeks and I didn't want to re-use any of the filters in case they had metal particles in. I was also using different grade oil each time.

The Mahle ones looked to be pretty decent for a much lower cost.
