    To me It just seems Cheaper and easier just to cut out the size you need from a filter sheet and use that. For $6 you can get a 15in x 25 charcoal infused sheet and cut it out and have more for another time. But I haven't tried yet has heard or tried? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I read in the Haynes and on the WIZ that you can fit a pipe onto the outside of the oil filter housing to stop (minimize) the oil spillage.. 1. Do any of you actually use this method (in other words is it necessary?) 2. If you do use this method then what ID (internal Diameter) is the pipe...

    Hi there, anyone did it already ? Is it really complicated ? I mean once the gearbox is removed from the car, how difficult is it to just swap the valve body AND the filter with new ones? Nothing else just swapping. Thank you.
