Let’s see how long it is last once you go above 200.000km.+ if you change the filter every 50.000miles. I bet it won’t last 300.000km. Changing every 50.000 miles won’t give it longevity.

Top tip for the caliper sliders: put the threads lightly into your drill chuck and hold some light scotch pad against it as you spin it. Clean in seconds and saves you catching your fingers with the wire wheel 😂 👍🏻

Very good idea! I’ll keep this in mind

Keep the awesome videos coming lads. On the 1.4 multiair engines it is also important to check (clean or replace) the multiair oil filter in the side of the head. If this clogs it can cause a world of pain.

There was a date on the oil filter, those 2 circles with the numbers and arrow will show you the date it was manufactured

Good spot, that format it the month / year format on a lot of car parts etc so worth checking… I recently bought a genuine fuel filter from manufacturer tho & it was 6 years old! They said no expiry date so good to install! Was as old as the part i was taking out so not always a true indicator

Genuine parts are ALWAYS far superior in quality in comparison to pattern parts, pattern parts are cheap substitutes, there's an old saying in the motor trade which you probably know....." BUY CHEAP, BUY TWICE" genuine parts also last far longer than pattern parts 😁

Genuine is good for the dealer. Most of the parts are made by other reputable comapnies. I wonder if they sell trash with their name on it and produce the highest quality so the dealership can "repack" it and sell it as it's own with a huge profit... 🤣 I think even new parts are not made as they were before. Everything becomes "eco" friendly with is a compromise on the quality and they don't want you to run the car for another 10 or 20 years

It depends. The car manufacturer doesn't make everything in the car. A lot of "pattern" parts are exactly the same as the genuine. Febi Bilstein make loads of parts that go into VWs for example. The issue is finding "genuine" pattern parts...

Turbochargers are sensitive to dirty oil or poor maintenance. I would have advised the customer an engine flush, before filling the car up with fresh oil.

Great stuff.. I prefer 'yellow' rice.. Regular servicing just might save owners a massive repair bill. Ask any mechanic and they'll always say, if you don't do anything else. change the oil & filter every 5 to 6,000 miles. The kidney analogy was spot on. Shame about Arsenal. They seem to have lost their way since Arsène Wenger left. I'm in Plymouth so stuck with the Green Army .. Loose the will to live most weekends ...

6 years? Your oil is going to be literal sludge and jelly mate catastrophic engine failure coming your way. The only thing to do now is flush the engine several times have all fluids flushed and changed at least once, and obviously new filters. Depending on petrol or diesel spark plugs coil packs or glow plugs too and it’s not going to guarantee you don’t run into trouble with turbo etc (you will) just how long for is the question.
