Jan, if its been in there a while (the oil), it may be worth doing some short oil changes (eg, every 750km for a couple of oil changes).

I'm going on an vacation trip tomorrow and will drive about 2000km next week, I'll do a new change when I'm back.

Thanks for the advice  :y

I've seen this as well, on a much less badly clogged filter. I reckon they can be crushed if they aren't on square when you replace the lid.

You've got to be pretty retardedham fisted to manage that surely :o

After all, the filter clips into the lid prior to refitting :-\

Can't get those the wrong way round, I suppose.

Although are the innards the same sort of thing?

I don't think it was wrongly mounted. The hooks that locks it in to the cap where facing outwards. But I think that the other end facing the block were stuck to the face of the filter and It might have been twisted when I screwed the cap off. The filter sort of hanged in there and I had to pull it out.

But I'm not sure about that, filter was anyway very worn and old. Flow through it must have been minimal.


Jan

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the hooks designed to lock into place INSIDE the holder, i.e. not showing?
