   Right, just been down to halfrauds and am going to change fuel and oil filter.... mini service basically until i have cash for a proper service....
   
   anyway........theres two types of oil filter in halfords... both have different names but have the same thread on them to screw them on.
   
   only main difference is the blue one is a little bit bigger/longer where as the white one isnt....... the one on my car now is blue but it doesnt say halfords on it. any ideas guys? rep available and its a 02 VTS
   
   Cheers

    pass no idea it might have been blue, or i might be thinking of the vtr one and vice versa. Im sure its the 306 you need but buy both and take the other back

    I was thinking 306 too. Buy both, take the other back. Avoid the champion ones. They are week and easily burned by the manifold

    well dude i've about a billion million more services than i would like to remeber at work and tbh it doesnt really matter aslong as the thread is the same and the rubber seal fits nice you'll be fine check for leaks after filling up etc tho
