Oil Filter
Does anyone know if the oil filter is the same for the 2.0 and the 3.0? If not can someone give me a part number and brand for the 2.0? The help is much appreciated.

Is it the element that needs to be replaced? On most cars, I'm used to seeing just one big cannister. You remove the entire canister & replace it with a new one and throw away the old oil filter cannister. I've never had to disassemble the cannister itself to change the filter. Am i reading the diagram correctly?

Pull the filter out of the cartridge Change the o-rings with the ones supplied Push the new filter in the same way the old came out Put a bit of oil on the large black o-ring at the top Re-install cartridge into Filter housing, torque and voila! |

I am planning on doing this early after 4000kms when the car is new. So there will potentially be lots of metal filings dripping out of the filter as I remove it or at the bottom of the housing. Any tips to mop these up? I change the oil when the engine is warm, so I suppose to let the engine oil cool down a bit before attempting the procedure Thanks!
