1.2/1.3 oil filters

[Asa-James]

same part numbers? i've got a service kit for my old 1.3 that i dont have anymore, and the 1.2 needs a service sharpish

[General Baxter]

1.2 is deff metric thread..... the really old 1.3 is imperial.

Cannae remember what the changeover year was on the 1.3!

There appears to be a convention with the oil filters for there to be 'metric' or similar stamped into the end plate if it is a later spec one. Although that could be manufacturer specific as i tend to buy the same make every time.

the 1.3 was out of an '89 pearl, iirc it was the later type every time i went for service bits.
