Hello guy's Im in need of some caterham r500 (2009) specifications.
Guys i need oil filter number and fuel filter number. I've been looking for it on other pages and so on but couldnt find it.
Honestly i will be grateful for all informations about parts used there like block number and fluids used there and if there are any special things that need special threatments like differentials or so.

Thx in advance.

Apologies if this seems to be an advert but we (dpr motorsport) fit a remote reservoir to the diff that sits in the boot. This provides a bullet proof diff breather - no oil leaks on hard cornering and also allows the diff to be topped up without any drama.

The oil filter supplied by Caterham is rather unique and I have not found this anywhere else other than Dartford. I understand this was specially sourced to ensure full oil flow through the filter so I would not try a Halfords alternative!

Interesting point about the oil filter - I routinely cut mine open to see how much engine is in it. The element is quite small compared to a 'normal' filter but does seem to be a good quality item. The scary bit is that there is a bypass valve that seems to operate at quite low pressure and I suspect a lot of oil goes round the element at high rpm.
