Sinister coolant filter.

Easy enough install. Only trouble I had was getting the "bolt" off to secure the bracket for the filter housing. I thought it was a nut on a bolt. DUH!

Other than the brain fart above, I m happy with the quality. I used the teflon tape..somewhere I read where some one used it and had leaks everywhere they used it. I made sure I wrapped plenty around, plus I took out the extra plug and re wrapped it also.

No leaks and everything heats up great. I can see fluid returning to the degas bottle when I peer inside.

So..how long to let it go before changing the first filter? I will be putting probably 1500 miles on it during the move later this month.

1K miles first one, not much inside go for 6K/6months. If lotsa junk inside 3K on the second. Yearly after that.
