ok so I was down at the local warehouse, and saw they stock oil filters. They are group 7 brand, but on the box I notice they are made by Purolator in the US.
They have one for my 2T (V4670 - same as Fram PH16 and Ryco Z10).
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with them, and how they would rate/compare them to say Fram/Ryco filters.

A group7 filter is as good as any fram/ryco don't let the fact that the warehouse sells them put you off, I've used them many a time, even in race applications without any problems, the same cannot be said for ryco. As you said group7 is made by purolator & purolator filters are normally pretty good. But then if you wanted a decent filter you could always go K&N, system1,oberg etc.

Yeah I didn't let the warehouse put me off. This weekend supercheap has 25% off so I can get the fram filter for under $10 - whereas repco want $14 for a ryco.
My old car had a Group 7 filter on it and it seemed ok. I've actually heard some bad things about Fram lately.
As for K&N, I don't think they will be readily available like the Fram/Group 7 filters. I change my filters every 5,000kms so no real need to get an expensive one.

You know genuine ones are only about 15 bucks?
When in doubt, down and out.

Ahh genuine - didn't even think about that. Just so used to getting aftermarket ones from repco, supercheap etc.
