karpman Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) That's the oil filter housing mate. Karpman Edit when you take it off replace all the seals with new filter otherwise you could get low pressure warning Edited October 17, 2013 by karpman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 From memory, it is a paper filter. Can't remember whether it is left in the housing or comes away with the cap. Put a rag around the housing. Capacity is 6.1 litres:- http://cararac.com/engine_oil/opel/frontera.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
