@Jon T posted:I guess that explains why I have not been able to lay eyes on my filter. I’ve sure looked - engine bay, wheel wells - nope. I don’t have a floor jack, lift or ramps so I used a mirror and light to look up behind the firewall where the oil cooler is mounted and could not see a filter. I almost posted here to ask what I thought would be a tremendously dumb question - where’s my oil filter? Now I know. Who would have thunk?
No filter- I'm surprised! It's one of the best things you can do for your engine- as well as cleaner oil going through the bearings, you'll be able to extend change intervals. Does your engine have an oil cooler attached with hoses (probably coming from the oil pump cover and back to the case)?
PS- I just read above where your cooler is on the other side of the firewall. If 1 of the cooler lines comes off the pump cover it would be relatively simple to add a filter before the cooler, and then oil changes will even be easier- there'll be no need to drop the sump plate and clean the screen. You'll just use the drain plug.
