When I bought my t about 4 months back, 60000km service found screen blocked and pushed its way thru the pipe into the turbo. lucky I got it in time before major damage. this was due to frauds lack of oil changes (only every 15000km) should be every 5000km. from what I now know, just do regular oil changes and it's not a problem. This is following Turbo tech's warranty advice, had to replace entire pipe & kit turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to replace the filter on my ute in 45mins today. I have two "special" 24mm spanners that are perfect for the task. Its actually very easy to access the fitting from the top if you have a Nizzer or similar plenum fitted.I paid $68 from ford for the fitting, interestingly the same part from Cov's was only $8 cheapers than genuine from the dealer. Next time it's due though i will be fitting the external earls filter i have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is though, I cant figure out how the old oil screen filter is no longer used?earl's braided hose has a ring on the end, the same as the stocker which the screen goes through. isnt those inline filters meant to replace the oil screen??

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 6m 10d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 10/03/09 12:10 PM Share Posted 10/03/09 12:10 PM How do you figure?The screen that is in the line to the turbo is after the oil filter.So it will only be filtering, if anything, particles that are picked up in the oil galleries, or anything that is 'shaved' off in normal operation.Plus, if you're still under warranty and you have an engine failure and it's discovered there isn't a filter in the fitting??Bye bye warranty, hello expensive replacement.
