someone mentioned a £29 kwik fit job for filter + mobil1 semi , is that still about ? would save a lot of hassle even though it would need an eagle eye in the process !
You do need a 36mm socket and a 8 (or 10mm?) hex drive to remove the filter. I do mine on standard height ramps. Some garages can do good deals for the job but I would need assurance that they are using the right oil.
