Went to my local Vauxhall yesterday for an oil filter.
They now do a long-life oil filter?
P/no 93178952 £2.98 on ABS £1.90.
Not put on as yet, slightly smaller than 93156954 and a lot heaver.
Anybody tryed this new filter?
-
Interesting. Would you not have to change it with the oil change? Surley that sounds a bit simple?? :P
-
Just how long does oil last for?
How long does the filter last for?
Mmmmm?
When you chang the oil you would change the filter at the same time?

I don't always change filters, esp if doing short oil changes. Though I never allow a filter to go beyond 5k

Personally I would not change one without the other. I change at 3500 myself. But that is just my personal choice.
I can say that I would buy a long life filter. Not unless they offer me something impressive.
Might be ok for some peps that are a bit... dubious with their oil changes. Although I fail to see how it would offer much more of a longer life if the oil was knackerd anyway.
See the oil post by an oil expert... makes for good... if a bit technical at times reading :y

Every 3000 miles, oil and filter, without fail :y

:o So I have thought doing it at 3500 was ok? (premature even :-[) Should I aim for 3k?

What colour is the oil coming out, and how smooth does it feel?
I aim for 3-4k myself in MV6, 3k max in tractor.
