Description

Oil Filter Replacement: RYCO's Got Your Back!
> An oil filter is like the kidneys for your engine, cleaning out all the gunk and keeping things running smoothly. For those trusty older diesel utes like the Ford Courier D and Mazda B-Series, that often find themselves in tough conditions or lugging heavy loads, a dodgy oil filter is a recipe for disaster, leading to premature wear and tear and costing you money in the long run.
Signs You Might Need a New Oil Filter
• Engine's lost its mojo? Feeling a bit sluggish?
• Funny noises coming from under the bonnet (tapping, knocking)?
• Oil pressure light's decided to throw a party on your dashboard?
• Oil looks like black sludge even after a recent change?
• Fuel consumption's gone through the roof?
WOF Woes?
While the oil filter itself isn't directly checked during a WOF, the damage it can cause (smoky exhaust, oil leaks) will definitely get you a failed sticker. Keep that oil clean, and you'll keep the WOF inspector happy.

• Don't Forget the Lube: A smear of fresh oil on the new filter's rubber seal ensures a good, leak-free fit.
• Consumables: Grab a can of engine flush to clean the engine before draining the oil. Engine Flush And don't forget a decent oil drip tray to catch the old oil.
