Description

Oil Filter Replacement Guide — Featuring RYCO
> Oil filters are your engine's unsung heroes, trapping all the nasty bits floating around in the oil – think abrasive particles, soot, the works. This stops premature wear on all the important bits. Eventually, they clog up, choking off the oil flow and potentially forcing the oil pressure relief valve to open, bypassing the filter altogether. Not ideal, eh?

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Low oil pressure warning light flickering at you.
• Engine sounding a bit rough, especially when you first fire it up.
• Feeling like your engine's lost a bit of oomph, and you're using more gas than usual.
• Oil looking like black sludge when you check or change it.

Will it pass WOF?
No. A bunged-up or damaged oil filter won't directly fail a WOF. However, the engine damage from poor filtration can lead to emissions failures, which will cause a WOF failure.

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 4/10
Estimated Time: 30-60 minutes
Tools Required: Oil filter wrench, socket set, drain pan, torque wrench
