I have customers buy Jaguar filters because they are half the price, and are the same. lol

 

Am I missing the upload of the actual analysis from Blackstone?

I used to use use a Purolator canister type on my x100 but they dont seem to do one as a filter element for the x150

 

I'm not trying to be snarky either but we know Jaguar doesn't make their own oil filters (my assumption) so can you tell me who makes the OEM filter for them?

EDIT: I guess this sort of answers my question. There is OEM "Mahle" and there is "Jaguar Standard".

 

I don't care who makes it. As long as it is branded Jaguar and is the one the manufacturer specifies. I don't want that variable (not OEM part) out of the picture God forbid something happens.

 

Jaguar, like any other car marque may change the manufacturer of service items every 2-3yrs ( or when the contract expires).

It's not to say that the new manfacturers product is superior, only that it does the job and can be bought at a competitive price.

In my Audi I remember taking it to an indy who also sold nuts bolts and fastenings by weight. I took along a fram CA192016. He examined it comparing to an OEM one

1) Same colour and filter medium
2) Same screw hole positions
3) Same number of pleats
4) Exactly the same weight in grams

He concluded it was exactly the same filter but without the little silver rings stamped on the OEM. The difference was the price as it was a 6th of one from a dealer.

Yes I can/have bought blueprint filters for my XKR, however at first service (in my ownership) it was discovered it had k&ns in good condition. So for the second service I had a brand new set of k&ns ready to slot in and recovered the old ones which I cleaned and reoiled.

With regards to oil filters if you can buy them at a fraction of the cost, buy multiples and change more often (say 3k miles 4 months) that way your engine oil will by default be cleaner. Also you can check the condition of them.and decide for yourself whether to stick with them or throw them in the bin
