Title: Air and oil filters for GTV6
Post by: alanm on February 04, 2009, 12:29:08 PM
Hi

I am considering using K&N air and oil filters next time I service my car.
Has anyone had experience with these products or know of any reason not to use them (other than cost)?
The oil filter would certainly be easier to get in and out because it has a 17mm nut on the end on it so you can use a rachet and socket.
I have tested this there is just enough between the manifold and the distributor (working from the top)!

Any thoughts?

Alan

A few of our Sponsors (refer home page) are Alfa Specialists who provide similar items.

I recommend you make a few calls and find out what is suitable for you car and/or what will give you the best result.

Let us know how you go!

Thanks Mathew, I reckon that might be the way to go.
The K&N part looks like an exact replica of the original but more carefully designed and manufactured.
