View Full Version : C1j oil filter obsolete?
Just been to my local motor factors and fram have discontinued the filter they made that was specifically for the c1j. The part number has been superseded for a different filter which isn't the right one.
Has anybody bought a genuine oil filter lately? Are they still available?
If not does anybody know of another brand that make a filter that is the same size and style as the o.e oil filter? I don't want to use any old filter as last time i tried it dropped my oil pressure by about 15lbs and cost a turbo..

Still available at Renault mate!
i got a genuine off mike 2 weeks ago matey
Oh well problem solved. I heard that renault had discontinued them?
If all else fails a lawnmower or motorbike oil filter would probably do the job
PH4546 Fram part number and is still available

The bloke rang up the newcastle branch and no stock apparently mate, obsolete
£4 + a couple of quid postage on Ebay mate.
Just rang up Sogefi who supply this filter, it is going to be superceded over to another but they have hundreds of this filter still in stock so not sure what you are getting told.
Dale, any chance of the Club shop stocking the (old/current) Fram filters?
I have put a post up in the committee forum about what can be done stock wise and how I can go about it, but if all good I can stock these in the club shop, they will be around £3.50 plus delivery at the £2.50 delivery charge. Would want to put service kits together rather than just putting the oil filter in place though. But will wait to see what they come back with.

:agree: Good darts :cool:
Win :agree:
The motorfactors i use are usually pretty good Dale so not sure whats going on there. They usually keep one in stock for me, apparently im the only person who buys it:D they have got one coming for me tomorrow.
This is all definitely food for thought though, one day service parts for these will be hard to come by, and might not be that far in the future? I definitely know of a lawnmower filter that is about the same though:laugh:
gsf still have the purflux type on the shelf - not many though now.
Renault have no stock of o.e filter that's renault
The question is where do we go when these run out?
Motor frac and you can get the framm one just not o.e .mike and cgb still have a few o.e stock
Does anyone use genuine renault filters nowadays anyway? Fram ones are just as good and a 3rd of the price.

Only a fiver? That's cheap as chips! I was expecting it to be about £15-£20

The clio sport ones are only £4.40
Its the only thing they make that's not a rip off.
Have now put the Fram oil filter in the shop, I will gradually be adding more and more parts in there :)
My local Renault dealer says the are no longer available, so if people are managing to get genuine filters, can you let us have the genuine part number so I can go back to my dealer and see what the craic is ....
Thank you.

gsf still have the purflux type on the shelf - not many though now.
I believed that the purflux was the oe one just that it doesnt come in renault box from dealers, however its identical to renault filter other than slight markings. GSF didnt seem to have many purflux lately
there is about 6 on the shelf at gsf brum. - 2 of those are not purflux.
you are correct - purflux are OE manufacturers for the renault 5's

I bet everyone starts putting the oil feed NRV back in! :D
Spoke to Renault today and have confirmed the old number is obsolete.
But it superceeds to a new number which also fits another renault so fear not you can still get renault filters :agree:
Erm, what's the new number? As not everyone is getting the same answer.
When I changed my 172 filter its looks pretty close, IF I had more time I would have mike'd it up to check but looks spot on..
not researched this yet
Mr Raider

The 172 filters are slightly taller, although reckon they would fit otherwise. Not sure that as its bigger there possibly could be a small difference in oil pressure?! :coffee:
Bigger oil filter is a recipe for dropping the oil pressure a few lbs. Almost any filter will screw on, just need to find one similar size as and when the supply runs out?
Clio 172 / 182 OE purflex filter fits :agree: it's slightly larger radius only remember using a spare one after going from f4r back to C1j and it fitted the rubber seal just fits onto the C1j mating face, height wise was about the same as C1J OE filter. Oil pressure wise was fine:agree:

Purflux are no longer available through gsf.As of today.:agree:

So no stock anywhere with GSF? if so have to buy a few genuine filters :dearme:
Mr Raider
06-09-2013, 12:52
Just bought 3 purflux filters from GSF to add to my spares stash ;)
This isn't good news :crap:
When we had an '03 Megane 1.6 I remember the oil filter looking exactly the same as my GTT one, so much so I had to mark the boxes to avoid mixing them up. It might be worth buying one to trial fit?

funy thing is the oe is purflux and the gsf one is also purflux . the only diference is the print on the two is the oposite way up :scratch:
Whats the gsf listed part number for purflux?
its just listed as the gt turbo filter. - gsf main warehouse now only has 1 filter left on the shelf, and thats made by 'mecafilter'.....

Ill find part no. for you,do other parts places like Euro or anywhere else do purflux? maybe speak to purflux themselves about a club group buy of the rest of the stock?
Hi guys, been following this thread so I though I had better check out as I don't have any filters. Checked with my local Renault dealer, no longer available, so I then went to the motor factor, I bought 4 Mahle filters about £6.50 each I also got a purflux about £9.50.
Mr Raider

I have heard Euro car parts stock purflux, looked at a mahle filter lastnight and compared to oe its smaller in diameter and taller
Does having 8 Fram oil filters count as a panic buy :coffee:
Sold 2 of them already though

I used Mahle filters for years with no problems.

It was, when I was using oe filters :laugh:
That was an old gauge off of Noah's ark. When I replaced it with a new gauge it was fine, apparently.....
Purflux ls590 has been replaced by ls218.:agree:
Sold 6 of the oil filters now. Somebody just panic bought off the club shop :laugh:

That particular one looks too big. However i have had a bosch oil filter that was exactly the right size for a gtt many years ago.
The payen gaskets are about the same as the mellior gasket if anybody is struggling for a headset?
Mr Raider
14-09-2013, 14:31
When I was in GSF panic buying 3 purflux oil filters, I asked about the mellior/corteco head gasket set, R11402, there are a few still kicking about £45+ vat, one of these is on my list for the spare stash! lol
what all the panic guying about, my local motor factors tells me he can get all the mahle filters I want and he can also get the purflux filters. I have just bought 4 mahle and 1 purflux. I was going to use the mahle for run in purpose and then change to the purflux.
