    Is there an alternative to the UNI oil filter for the 456? Baldwin makes one for the 308. Anything similar?

    I am a fan of "alternative/compatible parts" - as it were - for our cars and actively look for aftermarket replacements. I guess one could call it a hobby. The only manufacturer I found that makes compatible oil filters for the 456 is HIFI FILTER, a European outfit that seem to distribute their products exclusively through that continent. Their replacement oil filter part # is SO 8995.

    Unfortunately trying to obtain those filters from their distribution network would end up being far more expensive than just buying the original items here in the US from one of the various vendors that offer them.

    When I had 308s, there was also a filter available for them from the German supplier MANN, and those are what I used on my cars exclusively. I've not seen anything but the UFI for the 456, except for the option that asgor listed above but I'm not going to go through the trouble of obtaining one. I wish MANN or Hengst or Mahle would do more Italian car filters, but maybe they figure the relatively low volume of units they'd sell wouldn't make it worthwhile.

    That was the best thing about the 308. Lots of parts options.
