Don't you have Honda, Toyota, Nissan cars there?

I would look in a cross-reference table and find the car that the US filter fits, then buy a filter for the UK version of that same car.

Buy an oil filter for a 2000 Honda Accord with the small 4 cylinder. That will fit and work. Use 15W-40 or 5W-40 diesel oil. It will probably take more than 3, but less than 4 quarts/liters. I would buy 4 just to be sure.

10w 40 will be ok AS LONG as is deisel rated. Being in europe you have more deisel small engines so your 10w40 may be more likely to be a deisel oil than over here. Here very few 10w40s are rated for deisel use. Those that are are usually made by Delo, rotella, & maybe castrol.

yes 10.40 is very popular here its a multi used in both diesel and petrol cars but will double check think its name here is castrol oil.

I guess oil in europe dosent carry the API logo seal? Reason i say this is that API stands for American Pertrolium Institute, its the testing Org that tests and standardizes all oils here. Makes sure the viscosities are what they say as well as have the manufacturer required additives and anti wear qualities. Reason i say this is that I think Deisel rated oil Is the C? rating up to maybe CJ now, the pervious before that would have been CI and the next would be CK. Im thinking they go through the alphabet. Gas oil i think is S?. These i know in deisel are for c=compression and if i remember the correct letter the S=Spark (dont think its I for ignition)

Anyway i say all that to say this, we here just look for the correct lettering as listed in your owner manual or for what your putting it in.
