gloves Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Hey, I just replaced my oil. Unfortunately before hand I had read online my model of car has a life time filter which isn't removable, but once I removed the shroud i noticed it was there. It had been leaking every minimally, mostly just oily around the unit and a bit in the cover but unfortunately I hadn't bought a new one so i did the oil change anyway. I had to use a friend and his tools to do the oil change and frankly I can't be bothered to go through all that again. Should i look at getting this sorted at a garage asap or just check the levels everyday this week and if its OK then live with a bit of a leak?

F0CUE Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 You can just change it you will lose some oil but you can just top it up again. Its best to have a new one to be on the safe side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 It's the fuel filter that is a non-serviceable, lifetime item on the petrol models. oil filters will always need regular changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
