Thanks for the help. I’d have never know the oil filter was hidden cartridge.

the dealer charge a lot. jiffy lube charge also a lot....and a regular mechanic shop is ok but they advise u on synthetic one....

[@frankgustapo7209]

Thanks! Where did you buy the oil and filter? At the dealership? Or local auto store?

[@thewayididit6641]

I get my supplies at a local auto supplier.

Did you clean the inside of the oil filter cartridge?

[@thewayididit6641]

You mean before i installed it? No, i didnt. Or are you talking about the holder? Some times i do. I try to clean it about every third oil change. Im not sure its necessary. Afterall, thats what the filter is for.

[@rjwoeste4472]

Either way why not clean it every time? It only takes a minute to wipe it clean...JMHO

[@thewayididit6641]

I dont wipe it. Anything in there isnt big enough to be drawn up by flow so, its prolly not big enough to be wiped up. I use a small vac to suck everthing out. Its about 5mm wide so its get in there pretty good. Still, you are right, cleaning it out everytime aint going to hurt.
