Title: Need a New Oil Filter? Post by: craiga on June 14, 2003, 10:31:36 AM Check this out :o The worlds most expensive Oil Filter.
For sale on eBay with a starting bid of $80.00, but if your impatient (and rich) you can buy it now for just $350.00. Come on, what are you waiting for, you even get a free box to put the old filter in ??? Title: Re: Need a New Oil Filter? Post by: customFC on June 14, 2003, 12:06:47 PM Oh my god, a PF10. I can't believe one of these still exist. Do you know how rare this is? Only $350!!!! Where's the link. Bloody kids can starve for a few days can't they? I need one of these. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

That fella bought that filter off me on Ebay 18 months ago. I found it in an old dealer, put it on Ebay for $30 (would have been happy with that) & then it went through the bloody roof. It finished at $280 :o :o :o At some stage he has damaged it though, as there is a chip on the front now. When I sold it, it was perfect. True though, they are EXTREMELY RARE!!

I reckon the new chip on it was from when his wife chucked it at him when she found out how much he paid for it. It's a wonder she didn't stick it 18 inches up his bum!!!! :o :o :o :o Surely you could re-create this look on a modern filter for a fraction of the cost. Paint a new one Black and get a bloody sticker made up for christ sake!! You could fix a nut to the end fairly easily. I mean, you have a fair bit of cash to play with when a new replacement filter for a Red Six is $4.95 at SuperCheap. Just my opinion.................. :-/ Cheers, Craig.

Yes Chris. My wife would have stuffed it down my throat if I had paid that much to by it, but selling it, she was stoked. As for reproducing them, it has been done. BUT, the indentations on the outside are different than the new ones. Also, the little nut has "AC DELCO PF10" stamped into the end. If a judge spots that, extra points!! But, worth it?? I don't really think. I would rather spend the cash on a Wilsonia gauge or something similar. Rob J Title: Re: Need a New Oil Filter?

I am with Rob I would spend it on a nice Wilsonia gauge.
