Where is the centrifugal filter?

Haynes is useless.

the spin on is filthy

So just need some oil then do the filters.

But cannot fid the centrifugal!

its inbetween the turbo and aircon pump, its a domed cap with 2 10mm hex bolts

Thanks I wil dive in with torch and have another look.

I would add that the filter housing is made of compressed cheese - tighten bolts to correct torque carefully,or even to be prepared for the thread to come out attached to the bolt/s...

like one of mine did, when I undid it doing its first service after I bought it, managed to get away with fitting a longer bolt till next time round which I will rethread them both to the next size thread

Just thought I'd have a look inside my old centrifugal oil filter after 7000 miles... lined with an impressive layer of tar!

you should see the lorries I do !

certain trucks have re-usable centrifugal filters , they pop open and you scrape it out , I weighed the tar that came out of the last one ( supported on blue tissue , weighed in at an impressive 2kg !!!!

the stuff is so hard and compacted its a two hands and screwdriver to dig into it , mind you that's taken from over 35 litres ( 5 gallons ) of oil !

BTW I changd mine last month
