I’m another Mackies advocate, but I’m not sure that thay drop the sump and replace the filter. I’d thought that they reverse-flushed the whole system with hot oil via the two oil cooler ports, including the filter. And it all goes through their fine mesh filter to identify any wear.
I definitely wouldn’t attempt it myself!
But I’ve been wrong before - well worth asking John at Mackies when I next get it done (about every couple of years for me, now that I do very little mileage).
