So I need to do an oil change, this is my off season for driving we have extreme heat now here in S. Arizona. Is the filter and strainer completely separate? I assume you change the filter and check the strainer? Any you tube videos on this?

It may be 914 heresy...but I suggest that if your strainer/screen is clear you could do oil changes with the drain plug every 25 hours, oil filter and oil every 50 hours, and if the oil filter is clear then strainer/screen every 100 hours. And adjust those numbers outward toward double that based on inspection history.
But that's just the airplane owner in me talkin'... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) but don't think Bob has had the car long so perhaps its a good idea to check the strainer. I have always done all oils and fluids on a new car purchase. |
