its standard all GU 4.2s have 2 filters with a shit design. when you remove them, oil coats everything...

Genuine IMWO have best antidrain back setup.. I've had no issues.

there is a massive thread on filters.. everyone likes the ones they use. *shock* ;)

and the 2 "different" filters are factory fitted.

Z503 and Z416 are the equivilant filters. can be cross matched to other part numbers.

I have never used genuine filters. But I do get a more expensive brand name as opposed to the no name one they can sell me for less than half the price :shock:

I 've always used Penrite HPR Deisel. In a comp abused td42, slightly cheaper if you can buy it in 20l drums. Always used Ryco filters too, no dramas there either. :cool:
