GUD diesel filter is around R160 from Midas, it uses the same filter as the Ranger 2.5, 3.0 and many other vehicles.

A few months back I bought 2 GUD oil filters ( Z 153 & Z 292 ) and the air filter for R 270 from my local spares shop

Wouldn't say you wasted money, you just way overpaid! I use balwin/fleetguard filters in all my patrol and farming equipment and I'm happy. My td42ti pick up I use a isuzu 300tdi air filter and it fits tight without any mods! On my wagon I installed a huge Donaldson cyclone filter unit, had to be changed slightly but the filter is standard and cheap also available all over.

You never waste money on a Patrol brother !!!..... It's like treating the good lady in your life. You buy a diamond ring to make and keep her happy. The one I bought was a one caret diamond set in 9 caret gold, and yours was also a one caret diamond but set in 18 caret gold..... :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

What is the reason for using two different size oil filters? Is there not enough space to fit 2 longer z292 filters?

On mine I have an aftermarket sandwich adapter to take the oil to an aftermarket oil cooler. The shorter oil filter just makes it easier to work in the space. The loner is better if you have the space. I am told that even with the sandwich plat one can use the longer filter..... I just never tried it
