    I just ordered a Baldwin off Amazon. Napa or Wix should be available locally

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll pick some up when Im over in the US in a couple of weeks, good ballast for the suitcase.

    WIX 51515XP by the looks of it. will the XP be ok with all types of oil or just synthetic only?

    I use the K&N, which has a sythetic material that filters to 10 microns. Is there
    something about that brand I should be aware of?

    K&N s are top shelf along with Mobil, OEM brands, and Royal Purple. The Royal Purple's don't have a bypass valve, however.
