Alternative oil filter

I did an oil change yesterday and since I'm 3 1/2 hours from the nearest Ducati shop I went for an alternative oil filter.I used the parts interchange as a guide with no success,but what I did find was that this filter from Ryco was almost identical to the original.

I tried to find one of those but Citroen 2CV's are as rare as rocking horse s@#t over here and so are their oil filters.

the first ones I used where the same as on most old Alfas and Fiats (ie Alfetta or Fiat Tipo). Mine were from CHAMPION

beware of not OEM filters!
Some of them have (or need) a "non retourn" valve inside and this might cause serious pressure troubles to your engine!

So does the original filter have a non return valve in it?

Actually I don't remember...
Otherwise I'm SURE that old "alfa romeo Alfetta" has a huge filter w/o valve and "Alfasud / alfa33 /alfa 145" has it.

I use FRAM PH2839 about 5.50-6.00€
No problems ever and made in EU

Citroen 2CV and some older Talbot use same filter.

Unfortunately, I doubt the spares (so, the filters) for FIAT, Alfa Romeo, Citroen and Talbot were easily available in Australia...
Ciao

I have a buch of the K&N which is a very nice filter. The club buys them at about $8.10 each. Just ordered 45 of them!

Do you need one? I can mail it to you.

Thanks Jon
But I've already fitted the Ryco filter.I took the bike for a decent ride yesterday to test all the tyre mods that I've done and had no dramas with the oil filter.

Cheers Ken

Thanks for the feed back Dave,I was still a bit worried weather it was going to be ok or not.
