Hi guys, I think it came to be the time to change my oil filter for the first time. First I need to get one but I found this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/OLFILTER-FU...400283957?pt=DE_Autoteile&hash=item4184c39335 I'm just worried that most of the times that ebay listing pops up even though it's not for the car? Or do you guys have a good seller that I can buy it off from? thanks!
Hi If this is for the 0.7 turbo version, I do not think that this filter is suitable as it is for the 1.3 non turbo version (height of 65mm). Have a look at this thread and the details below: https://www.copenworld.com/vb3/showthread.php?t=1459 Type: L880 (JB-DET) – 659cc 16V Turbo (67hp – 50kW 68PS) Oil filter (Element Oil Filter) (Element S/A, Oil) Daihatsu part number: 15601-97201 Equivalent = Mahle: OC487 JB-DET engine Dimensions: 50 x 68mm (height x width) (3/4-16 UNF-2Bmm) Hope it helps KS
Thew OC487 fits perfectly through the hole in the engine bay. Be sure to get the filter removal tool (the non-daihatsu one is cheaper)
I bought a Copen oil filter at my local motor factor. He also sold me a removal tool which was 68mm x 14. I had previously bought a 65mm tool which did not fit so beware !
Some of the filters are 68mm x 14, others are 65mm x 14. I bought both, as the seller gave me a discount. IIRC, the Blueprint filter, which doesn't fit in the hole, is a 65mm
