Going to change oil & filter next month. Been looking for filters on the 'net. There seems to be a confliction of which one fits. I.e. Mahle OC 66 is listed on some sites Mahle OC 272. The only difference I can see is that one type is about 25mm longer than the other which shouldn't make any difference, right? What brand of filter does anyone use?

Hi, opie oils list the mahle OC272. Link below

Used both sizes no problems

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll see what my local motorfactors offers me. My B is 20 years old next month. Gonna treat her to some new engine oil, gearbox oil and gas struts. If only all females were this easy to please!

Re the gas struts.
See the Barchetta Guide "Removal and replacement of hood gas stuts" (struts) for a good supplier (bottom of page)
