Just looked up the K&N oil filter for the bat-mobile. They showed me a picture of an element and 5 O'rings of various diameters. Where do they go? Is that something you can change out yourself in your garage?

Also, while I'm at it any wisdom of K&N over OEM? Looked in the filter book for Fram at WallyWorld and they don't even show one...tnx mates

 

Type "oil change" in the search field, there are plenty of threads with photos on this.

 

You will only use 4 of the o'rings on the Crossfire.

 

This link says:
Now you must replace the 4 o-rings on the shaft. Use a small screw driver to remove all of the old o-rings.
Coat all 4 new o-rings with some motor oil and install on the oil filter shaft.

I know some of these filters come with 5 o rings but only 4 are used on the Crossfire.
I have been doing it this way and no issues in 12000 miles.

 

Thanks mate, that's just what I was wanting to see. I've got it on my favorites dropdown for later. Mercedes certainly does things thoroughly don't they. Illustrates so well the difference between our union built stuff and how they handle the most important part of the engine. Those orange white or blue cans stuck to the engine somewhere like a big blisters don't give the same feel of seriousness do they. A Mercedes is a Mercedes.

 

Union built yes, but non-union designed. Give the credit where it's due.
