This looks the same as mine, you use the same oil filter for the 948 and 1098 a series engine.


Too many Minors so little time.....

But the specified one has a smaller bore and so seats correctly in the housing. A later one will "go in" the housing though.

The unit you have there is the correct one. I have always used the standard Minor 1000 oil filter. Don't change the o'ring seal. If it doesn't leak leave it alone.
