NOTE : Opels are VERY particular about Oil Filter choice.. The wrong oil filter with the wrong baffle can cause you to have low oil pressure. The filters listed above are confirmed to work with our motors. The Opel OEM Oil filter does NOT have a Bypass valve.. nor a Anti-drain back valve (ABD) and many filters DO. This will lower oil pressure.
