So, im tired of getting my oil filters from ECS and paying like 10 million dollars for shipping. I always the the larger filter to prevent the sludge. This one above is the same exact thign right? Anyone have expierence with autohausaz.com as I have never purchased from them before

You can get the purolator L40316 from your local parts palces. That's a "big kahuna" w940/25 filter made by Mann

 

I never knew about that until recently. Thats thats good stuff.

 

I buy the just-as-big-as-the-mahle model of Mobile one oilfilter. Advance auto parts carries them.

 

i get ALL of my parts (oem) through autohausaz and highly recommend them. Great prices, and the customer service is quailty too.

 

I purchased a large filter from ECS awhile back and just got around to changing the oil last weekend - Before that I had it serviced at Tiresplus - I was shocked to find that their "tiresplus" filter was the same size as the ECS one.

I know this is a really stupid thing to say but how do you guys reach the oil filter? - I just remove the G12 coolant tank and go down from the top. I looked around a little and didn't see an easier way in. yep I feel really dumb now

 

I open and tighten from the top, I pull it out from the bottom.

 

Thats the easiest way to do it, and only logical way from what I can see. It takes, what? 30 seconds to remove the 3 screws on the coolant resevoir and move it out of the way?

 

ok -sweet - I thought I was just not seeing somthing, - that is a really bad design then. there is a lot of space around it but no way to get to it.

 

Its not to bad to get to from the bottom either, I usually go in from the top though.

Ihave had to crawl under to get a good enough grip on it to break it loose before, couldn't get a good enough grip on it from the top.
