Blue is uk made ,
Black is the jdm version
Pink is sti made ,
Black and pink are larger slightly so hold little more oil and more filteration I believe , but sure someone will be able to tell you exactly what is what

Speak to Alyn at AS Performance - but most use blue or black I think - stay genuine rather than hks

I ran the hks filter before the last change, now I just went oem on this one. Noticed absolutely no change whatsoever, apart from a few extra quid in my pocket. No noticeable change in pressures or temperature either.
