Hi guys, question, I went to change oil on my 2006 IS 350 with 50k, and they said that I have to change oil filter and one more filter( extra $13) plus charged me for extra quart of mobil 1 synthtic oil $8. mechanic said that this filter is required on this oarticular car and mercedes, but it wasnt req. on my 2006 m35x.
Anybody knows what the other filter for???????
You should have asked the mechanic what the "one more filter" was while you were still in the shop, because there's only one filter (the oil filter) that needs to be changed when doing engine oil service.
yea theres no other filter you would have to change when doing oil. maybe he was just referring to the cabin filter, usually you change it every 10k miles so at 50k you would change it
Whatever happened to gas filters? These were standard on cars for years and would be changed every few years. What's changed that they are no longer needed?
Thank you guys. but he showed me a a round piece with rough edges, what can it be?
Any clues
He pulled a quick one on you! They show you a part and says your car needs it, but it never gets installed. He just made a real EASY $13 from you. Like shooting fish in a barrel!
Cabin filter = square paper element
Engine Air filter = Square paper element
Oil filter = round paper element
