spin on oil filter
I have fitted the kit from ESM. I'm about to do an oil change and need a new filter.
Do you know what I should ask for in the car spares shop? Is it the same as a mini ? if so what year should I ask for?
It seems silly paying for delivery from ESM.
I've just looked up Fram PH966B which was what came with the kit on the web and it says Ford Escort - is that correct?
Thanks Roger

there's always the fallback option - get down to Halfords where the stock is on the shelf and comapre the old one to the new one to be 100% sure. (sealing diameter and thread size)I've just looked up Fram PH966B which was what came with the kit on the web
If you can't get there with your car in bits then Halfords will let you change pretty much anything if you 'bought the wrong one by accident' so buy it and compare at home.

I know that my '79 Mini 1000 (998cc) and my '85 Mini City E (also 998cc) had the same filters if that's any help. Actually, so did my 1977 1275 GT engine, and the 850. Oh and thinking about it, the two A-reg ('83) Minis. Just not the VERY early ones and the VERY late ones probably. 70s or 80s ones should be fine.

If the filter you are replacing has a maker and makers type/part number printed on it that should be enough for any decent motor factor to identify by cross referencing to the make of filters they stock. They should have a decent enough catalogue to achieve this.
Both my 1098cc engined cars have spin on conversions, not necessarily the same as those ESM supply but the spin on filters ESM do supply are Fram PH966B, as mentioned in your opening post. So logically they would fit their kit??
I'd get that or it's equivalent from a motor factor, try it CAREFULLY first before throwing any oil or oily fingers at it just in case it's not correct!!

I got my spin on filter housings from 70's 80's Mini's in scrap yards. The ones that fit the Minor 1000 block is definitely for a Mini.
When you order a service kit from ESM/Bull Motif/whoever, just ask them for a Mini spin on oil filter instead of the paper and they allways send the right one.
