Thoroughly enjoying my new TVR and wish to change the oil for the new season.
I have been using Penn Grade motor oil previously as it still has additives to reduce camshaft wear in it.
Along with the upgraded oil, I would like to use K&N oil filters for my car but cannot find a listing for K&N anywhere for a 1997 3.9l Rover V-8???
Any help appreciated or alternate suggestions?

Best,

Chuck

Royal purple do a glass fibre filter if you want the best. Part number 20-253. They work far better than paper ones in both flow and filtration.

Think the K and N is HP2004.
Cross reference the original filter number which is ERR3340

Thanks, everyone, for your help!!
K&N does not list TVR in their information on our side of the pond. SURPRISE?? Their contact listing said to call, and of course, they were closed and you could only use Word to contact and use a new password? WTH???
So I turned to old reliable PistonHeads for help and they came through again! Thank you all so much!!!
Keep the flame alive, somehow buy another lottery ticket that's a winner!
Maybe too much wine tonight??

Best,

Again, thanks for the input!
Lots of stuff on the net, info overload!
It looks like the new K&N filter number is HP2000, and the old one is ERR3840.
After clearly too much time on my hands, decided to try the Royal Purple 20-253 this time out?
The sound of this car puts such a smile on my face each time I start it up! Such a cheap date I am!!!

From what ive seen you have some of the best lubricants and filtration over there and its reasonably priced too compared to ours.
Id love to walk around some of the Autoparts stores.

Come over for Out of the Woodwork at the Pittsburg Vintage Grand Prix! First part of August!
If I have recovered from surgery by then will take you around!
You can ask about TVR parts and count the blank stares!
