Hi all,
Recently changed my oil and filter and was confronted with the paper oil filter with a plug (with O ring) on the bottom of it. This is a replacement paper type filter and not the metal cartridge type. After examining the filter it was obvious that it would only locate in one position inside the filter holder attached to the engine block. The plug located in a small hole in the bottom of the holder, the filter 'cap' then being screwed down onto the assembly. But what is this plug for? I have trawled all manner of sites and manuals but can not find any reference to this or instructions for a filter change of this type. Any ideas? Something to do with the turbo perhaps?
On the matter of oil changes one 'site' recommended an oil change every 3000 miles!!! Bit over the top!
