Oil filter insert for M70/S70
Guess there are many that already know this , I did not until I got my new oilfilter and it was not looking like the old one.
Asked many Car mechanics around and no one new about this , not even the dealer when I ordered it.
When picked up the old man himself was at store , he knew what it was
New original oilfilter will require an insert to function properly.
If changing from original oilfilter to a new , then the Old insert must be reused.
Going from an unoriginal one to orginal you would have to get one.
Going from orginal to unoriginal I would guess many of these are thrown away giving the owner an issue on the next oilfilter replacement.
Wonder hove many cars going without this insert in this moment i will guess there are a few.
And it seems like there will be a poor oilfiltering in that case.
Man filter was installed in my car , the right one is the original both showing bottom.
