Sorry if this is a stupid question ..doh! but what is a C109 oil filter ?Is that a Fram/Nissan part number and does it have bigger capacity than std. filter ?

[30psi]

Thats a champion oil filter which is an alternative supplier. Its identical to the Nissan item. Halfords stock these

Thanks I'll try Halfords if my motor factor doesn't come up with anything
