164 3.0V6 24V - Oil Filter?

[Beatle]

I can't find a Ryco oil filter listed for my 164?  I'm sure I used a common filter in my last 164.

Ryco lists Z418 for the 3.2V6 in the 156 and Z690 for the 2.5V6 in the 156.  Also lists Z418 for the 3.2V6 in the GT.

What fits the 12V 164?

Gday Paul Z418 filter for 164 3.0 12v works which is the same as GTA oil filters

He's quite correct.

Thanks guys.  I knew it was a common filter.

Oil?  Penrite HPR-15 (15W60)?

While Penrite recommend 15w60 for your car, which is a fine oil, I personally would use the Penrite 10w60 as it a 100% PAO ESTER Full Synthetic, a much better oil in all regards.

But it is quite expensive compared to the 15w60. It all depends on just how you much the car means to you, what type of driving you'll be doing, is it a daily drive, or a little something more special.

You get what I mean, I'm sure.

Thanks Barry.   Yes I used the 10/10ths in the GT.  This 164 has pretty high KM but won't a lot more So I might go with the ester version 👍

Penrite's recommendation for the 3.0L is the 20W-60.   10W-60 for the 3.2L.
