Fuel Filter

Post by rnbboi »

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know where I can find a Fuel Filter for the GPX? I know the genuine Mitsu part number is (thanx to complete fto):

MB868459

Is there an alternative fuel filter, such as by Ryco or something - cos I have this funny feeling that genuine mitsu part will cost a fortune and not easily sourced... :?

If anyone has replaced their fuel filters, it'll be great if u can tell me what brand and part number you got and approx how much $$

Thanx

- Ken

I'm confused about these filters ...

Are the AT Oil Filter and the Oil Filter from Ryco (Z411) can be used for both applications?

As the normal Oil Filter and the AT Filter?

Yeah apparently they can but i dont think so on mine. Mine is a 94 4speed tip though maybe the 5-speed or even just later model ude the same. just go down yto local dealer and purchase one take it home pull off the old and line them up if they look the same then BINGO

Went back to repco today to buy AT fluid - dexron III - i asked the guy for the coopers filter, he said he never heard of it.

Also, asked him if the AT filter and the Oil filter are the same, he said the the AT filter is internal and it's not something you can screw in and out. So I shooked my head n said ok, paid for the oil and walked out.

Also got penzoil 10w-40, the prez said he can't fault in one of the thread so i'll give it a try. $30 bucks for 5 litres not bad.
