'Performance' Oil Filters? Quantity of Oil to Buy?

Post by X_S60TTY »

Same as the subject really just going to order some Millers oil for the car but wanted to know if 5 litre will be fine as its not cheap! also does anyone know about 'performance' oil filters, any good or just a load of old tosh? and if so which one would anyone recommend?

Cheers

5 Litres will be fine, mine usually takes roughly 4 litres.. No idea about performance Oil Filters, I presume they are shorter and are designed to raise the oil pressure? Can't say I've really seen them before.

Good I had heard good things about the millers. K & N do them but i will probably just stick a mann or OE in there I just thought I would see if there is any point
