When changing customer's engine oil, they were told that the dirtiest quart
of oil was in the filter.
Don't cheap out. As they used to say "Pay me now, or pay me later"

I have oil (diesel) in my blood! And you can see where it gets in!

I've never had an oil related failure on a large engine (once on a lawnmower
maybe) so I don't worry about it too much. The farm tractors get changed once
every 2 years but we're talking less than 100 hours of run time, synthetic 5w40
in the '98 Ford and 15w40 diesel oil in the 1952 Farmall.
I change my oil and filter every 12 months regardless of miles. Keeps the
acids, etc. at bay.

I would, simply because 1.) it’s cheap; and 2.) the filter could be breaking
down from age, especially if it’s one that uses glue to hold the pleated paper
together like the fleece filters in the M112.

I put only a few K miles on between changes. IIRC back in the day the
advise was to change filters every other oil change.
Is it necessary to change an oil filter by time rather than mileage?

Wix makes very nice oil filters, but if you use them you must obtain a
new o-ring seal from somewhere else -- the one included in the box
never fits and I've cut nearly every one I tried to use.

I concur with the assessment of the o-ring...never could get the new one to
seal so I just
Be careful to properly fit the filter in, on some models you can
displace the internal seal between the full flow portion and the bypass
portion, resulting in low oil pressure.
Unless you have a W124 with a 603 engine, it's easy.

The secret is to remove the rubber trim at the top of the inner
firewall! Takes 10 seconds and gives you WAY more clearance.

Hey guys
A friend of mine found this link:

Not too sure how current the info is, but the Wix filters did pass
this guy's test
Anybody have any updated info, please share it with the rest of
us...
The Benz (1980 300CD)is due for an oil change. Happy to see the filter is
accessible from the top of the engine (never done my own change on this beast
before.) Plan to use Wilton's $2 supersucker to drain the oil.
The Official CD is not terribly helpful. It indicates that I am to tighten the

Actually, that was a poor choice of words. I meant thread in the
sense of threading a needle, not thread in the sense of twist it
like a screw.
