WhiteXR Member 117 Member For: 14y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 09/03/11 06:08 AM Share Posted 09/03/11 06:08 AM Im still tossing up between paying 180 for the earls kit or just removing the filter out of the line and whacking it straight back on. Is the earls kit worth it or should I just save my money and pull it off and put the line back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May smoke by burning oil. Why dont you change the filter?I've removed mine and no problems at all so far.

I got some washers at Ford spare parts and they guy had never heard of what I was talking about and was "suprised they stocked them".. I wouldn't waste my money on a filter kit. Engine oil filter is there for a reason and it's a performance car so your oil should always be clean. On a hoist with the right tools it will only take 30 mins max including cleaning the threads, taking filter out etc. I reckon I would've lost my s**t if I had to do it on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fitted the remote kit for safety but do agree with your comments. With regular oil changes, I don't think it's an issue. But yes, definately don't leave the OEM one in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the airbox out this morning for a quick look. At what stage do you disconnect the oil supply pipe from the assembly? What is the easiest way to do this or I'm I missing something simple?

Then re asemble.The line doesnt twist and I saw no need to hold the other half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
