If you change your oil regularly you will be fine. If you are paranoid about it then pull it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change your oil regularly you will be fine.If you are paranoid about it then pull it out.The WRX's have the same issues. I have provided this YouTube link to show how much bigger it is than BA/BF and how its removed (go to 4:48 mins to get to where you need to be). I'm not sure if FG is same size or removal process however. But it may be.Also there has been suggestion lately that the Earls aftermarket inline filter lines are deteriorating, so they may not be the ideal solution as once thought.Personally I have just removed mine and have not had any trouble in the last 14 months.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard of this.SHP, On 03/03/2012 at 5:18 AM, ratter said: The fg's filter is probably 4 times as big as the previous ones, but I guess over time if enough sludge forms in the motor then yes they can fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning that I have not any evidence of my own. But there could be some truth to what has been said.

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 8m 16d Gender: Not Telling Posted 27/05/12 04:32 AM Share Posted 27/05/12 04:32 AM Paulie, it is plausible that the aftermarket lines could be failing after time. I also feel that the steel oil line a better, more durable option. And as far as the two sources are concerned (Daz and Turbotorana), I personally have found much of their info consistent. I know Daz gets a bit manic at times, but his results with his own car are impressive.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could be so kind.B: Dazzlers application is a NA not turbo and again I cannot find any claims by him that he is having problems with a braded turbo oil supply line.C: If I was to give you the benfit of the doubt regarding A and B then how do you know inferior quality product was not used?
