You know puggy, if the fuel filter is not due (I think they are every 24000???) then don't do it.

Make it simple and just drop the oil and filter and air filter.

Strange :?: Never had a problem & I change mine every 12000. All mine have a hex shaped bit on the top & I use a hex socket & downward pressure to overcome the spring pressure. Oh & I always change it with the engine warm.

My mechanic made a right song and dance about changing my filter, kept going on about hepa filters, clean environments etc. I ended up at the Pug dealer who appeared to just slap in a new one in the workshop :roll:
