Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm just in the process of changing my engine oil. I've decided to change the filter as well. I've undone the plastic holder and the paper element came out at the same time - no need to pull it off the pipe that's suggested in various you tube videos. When I've looked at the filter it's got the item pictured in one of its ends? What is this as it doesn't seem to be referred to and if I place it in the new filter the paper element it won't stay fixed to the metal tube protruding from the engine casing and the plastic filter holder fixed to?Everything I've seen suggest the filter should just push on to that tube and the plastic holder is screwed up after. This works if I dont use the insert pictured. Cars a 98 c2 QM

POST 2Original post

You need a new plastic canister that holds the oil filter .. that part should be in the base of it ... never actually seen one come out before .. and ive done 1 or 2 oil changes in my time !
