Hi all im servicing my car soon and i saw in the FTOA oil thread that khunjeng said the oil filter number was MD360935 i went to mitsubishi and they said its the same as a lancer and gave me MZ690115 is that still fine?

Yep. Thats a newer part number & its more than likely superceded the old number.

How can you say that wheres the fact's, im not disagreeing but come on at least post some sh*t up to back up your OPINION, instead of making just a random remarks.

has been before and ryco is sh*t

tests have shown them the worst in flow and pressure tests...their construction is less than good and the material is known to be crap.

i dont say 'random remarks', i say what i know, and learn from what others tell me, and from what i research and read. i dont stab in the dark, i just thought it was common sense to NOT buy ryco like you do NOT buy delco for cars in our category

Settle down, Read what i posted, i said im not disagreeing with you, just add some facts behind your posts so ppl can tell the difference between fact and fiction im sick of reading crap on this forum that ppk try and broadcast as fact. IM NOT SAYING THAT EITHER OF YOU 2 ARE, just saying when making a comment, back it up so the noobies can get a good understanding of where you are coming from

Mate you came up with the opinion all filters are the same. So obviously your contradicting yourself by not knowing what is face of fiction yourself. Filters are very different from one or the other.
