soooty Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 i can usually manage an oil change by myself but not done a gt6 before and had a few questions. firstly its been converted to spin on filter and i dont know what type to replace it with. I think the previous owner said it uses scoda filters.. does that sound about right? Secondly it has an oil cooler and i dont know whether that makes any difference.. can i just ignor that? ta for any help. my car is a gt6 mk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cook1e Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 If it's a Mocol Spin on conversion (not sure there are any others anyway?) then the following filters or equivalents from other brands are the one's to fit:-BL/Rover/Unipart GFE180 or GFE173Fram PH2964Champion C104Halfords HOF200Hope this helps....

shedmonkey Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 dont woory about the oil cooler -just check pipes for cracks leaks etc Use a decent oil - I would go for a 20-50 I recommend "Valvoline 20-50 racing" or similar check out opie oils web site they do some good deals Ive been using silkolene http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-841-silkolene-silkolube-sae-20w50-for-the-cherished-older-car.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paudman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Mahle OC235 filters are shorter so give more clearance around the filter adaptor, especially against the chassis.You can also use WIX WL7213 filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99176 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 And don't worry when it goes all over the chassis and misses the drain can.They all do that sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Mine now changes itself..... I pour the oil in and the car makes it disappear.... so I pour more in - is this wrong? :P You're spot on about the mess Keith!Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
