Dawgz I am talking bout the filter that filters your oil. I cant find any cleaner for the oil filter in stores. Dunno what that dude has. Or should I just use da air filter cleaner?

what ?!?! you bought a used oil filter? you are not supposed to reuse oil filters, well at least to my knowledge. you shouldn't be cleaning them, they sell for like 10 bucks new at your local auto parts store. :nono:

Hey now. That might fly on a domestic, however, we have tighter tolerances. We need to use the high efficiency soap for dishwashers. ;)

You don't clean the oil filter... walk over to your fly ass hizzip, open the hood or somehow otherwise get your oil filter out, go to the parts store and ask for a Wix Oil Filter for a 7m. Damn, son. Shit should be under 10 bucks mang.

u have to ttake off ur air filter and attach a bag of sand to the intake pipe. Then turn the car on and let it run. Once enough sand gets in, it will make its way to the oil filter and it will work as a sandblaster. Then you need to wash it out, so open the oil cap and put a hose in there on full blast for exactly 90 seconds. Then add 2 quarts of 5w-40 synthetic and 5 quarts of 20w-30 and it will be good as new.

Oh, true I forgot about the port and polish part. Yea, it will allow better air flow into the motor.

wtf? can't believe you guys.

if you put clean oil in the engine in the first place you don't need to filter it again. thats redundant

Allright, it was a joke. Napa gave me the wrong front oil seal, so without a car and nothing to work on I was a bit bored. Cheers to those who liked it, sorry to those who felt I wasted their time.
