Every time I do an oil service......and remove the filter...I get half a pint of filthy oil down my arm and dripping all over the propshaft.

Has any one tried a mod that allows a spin-on filter to be used instead? I know they are more expensive...but they must be much less messy to change!

Put a plastic bag over it, so the oil stays in there when you release the filter.

That's ok once the nut is undone...but is starts ****ing out of the top while i'm using the spanner on it...once the main body has separated from the seal.

A spin-on just seems less fussy and more elegant.

you can fit any 2.5 4cylinder filter housing such as 2.5 petrol ,2.5 diesel ,200 tdi etc just bolt in place of existing housing,oil cooler pipe holes can be blanked with std parts as not all are cooled
