Re: oil filter
nice. it betta to get the propa ones cos the cheaper ones have a crappy valve on em and tend to drain due to lack of pressure when the car not running.

Re: oil filter
hate too shock you all but guess who makes the genuine vauxhall filters certainly not vauxhall but a specialist filter manufacturer like cooper or baldwin etc etc then rebadged?painted with nice vauxhall logo

Re: oil filter
yea...and? it aint gonna be crap stuff. Shell makes the oil, and coopers supply all the filtration stuff. Bosch do the electronics and ignition, and FAI do all the bolts.
p.s. i get GM oil filters for about £1.20 each! i got 20 litres of GM 10w/40 and 7 filters for £45
