Swapping Out Your Oil Filter — With a RYCO Filter
> Oil filters are the unsung heroes, keeping your engine oil clean and your engine humming. Especially in tough rigs like the Audi Q7 and VW Touareg that work hard, a top-notch oil filter is key for a long and happy engine life. Think of it as a regular WOF check for your engine's lifeblood.
Uh Oh, Sounds Like You've Got These Symptoms
• Engine's not quite got its mojo
• Hearin' some new, not-so-sweet noises from under the bonnet
• Oil pressure light's flickin' on like a disco
• Oil looks like it's been rollin' around in the dirt
• Spotted some chunky bits when you last changed the oil
Will it pass WOF?
Yep, should be sweet as, long as there aren't any major oil leaks caused by a dodgy or missing filter. The filter housing needs to be all good, no leaks, to pass the Warrant of Fitness here in NZ.
