cheers, this change is part of a service or only change if noticing somehting? reason Im asking my car has done 52k and midnights has done 77k so want to confirm if I should be keeping an eye out

Would using engine flush before an oil change help to clean the screen or does it need to be done manually? I have a new line being made up and it won't have an in-line filter.

get rid of the screen all together

OK, I'll try not to split my block in the process. Are there no detrimental effects from removing it? And is there a flow restrictor hole that needs cleaning also? I suppose there is a thread somewhere I can look up

is this a legit option:

from the Earls website-looks like a special for turbo line kits:

Yeah mate tonnes of people have them fitted. Remove your filter now or it could cost you a turbo.

hmmm. after checking ebay there are some available however after asking one of the seller the only legit earls part is the filter. the hoses are not earls-to quote seller:

"AEROQUIP HOSE WITH EUROPEAN EATON FITTINGS"

waiting on reply from earls about special or go to rapid

Do not get the kits that have the clear coating on the stainless hose and use crimp style fittings

cheers Mick! I thought they looked suspect that's why I asked the seller. as for the red hose I was told it was legit earls ...doubt it....my experience is earls genuine has the brand stamped across it
