Asked my local motor factor for an oil filter today for my nissan micra 2002. Before I had a champion c141. This time I got a cheaper Microstar OC218 oil filter made in austria. I haven't opened the box yet, just wondered if anyone knows if this will fit as I can't find anything online about it.

Searches bring them up a couple of times.
With regards to it being correct or incorrect for your car usually you can find a list of equivalent parts on the box?
I always get my oil filters from Halfords.
My old 1.0 k11 was a HOF237 my mums current 1.4 k12 uses the same one ^_^

Well, I put it on the car and it seems to fit okay. The oil was leaking around the drain plug. I found out why. A small piece of grit got trapped under the copper washer during the last oil change and when I tightened up the plug, the grit cut a nice groove all the way around the washer.
