I am not sure as I use Z411 Ryco, which also works!

Why would Mitsubishi give you the wrong one?
The same filter fits all Lancers from CE onwards.
I use Ryco Z411 also

Thanks fellows, no it was just that Dan@TRM had doubts about that part number for the ralliart.

The Evos sometimes specify a different filter, but the RA specifies the same.

I am thinking I might do an oil change before my trek to qld... My car is about to crack 83000kms though!! Should get some supercheap oil...

I purchased the ralliart in july, my problem is that I have only done 2400k`s in almost six months [no i didn`t lose my licence LOL] so I`m going to do an oil and filter change in a couple of weeks , I`m planing to use a semi-synthetic oil as I don`t think I`ve done enough K`s to use full synthetic I would like things to bed in a bit more.

Here is my service schedule:
15,000 - Oil: Penrite Semi-Synthetic 5W40; Filter: Genuine Mitsubishi (Ryco Z411 was not *officially* said by Ryco to be compatible, so their warranty against damage to engine etc would not be covered, so took the sfe route and went genuine.)
30,000 - Oil: Penrite Everyday Full Synthetic 5W50; Filter: Ryco Z411 (Filter was recognised by Ryco as compatible by then)
45,000 - Oil: Penrite Everyday Full Synthetic 5W50; Filter: Ryco Z411
60,000 service will be the same. not due for another 5,00kms hahaha
