... that, if you have a Subaru Turbo - you have a Turbo Oil Filter which should be checked??

I didn't - but found this:-

""Most enthusiasts are not aware that they even have a turbo oil filter in their oil supply line; much less that it requires periodic cleaning with each oil change. The following text is from the Service Bulletin titled "Turbocharger Oil Supply Mesh Screen #02-103-07";

"the mesh screen which is located inside the banjo bolt that secures the turbo¬charger oil supply pipe to the back of the right side cylinder head should be checked to make sure it is not clogged or restricted especially if the condition of the oil is questionable or as to when the last oil change was performed. If clogged or restricted, it will reduce or cut off the oil supply to the turbo resulting in failure. The oil supply pipe should also be checked to make sure that there are no obstructions.""

Was going to post in Technical, but thought it would benefit from a wider viewing?

My classic doesn't have that mesh in the Banjo bolt Didn't have one in the old bolt or in the new one that I fitted.

Does this just apply to newer models ?

The later VVT engines have 4 of them in the Banjo Bolts.

Why is a Subaru technical bulletin reccomending that the engine oil/filter should be changed every 3750 miles??

pslewis?

I've heard of the Legend - not seen any posts from the King yet ..... but, I'm just a newbie, I'm sure he will reveal himself in the fullness of time

I think that these are found on New Age cars only.

Thats why I haven't seen it before .... the Subaru Bulletin made no reference to which mark, thought it was maybe there - but needed no servicing until now?

scoobyboy

might be for other markets as that isn't the type of bullitin that subaru uk issue

fivealive

I also thought that - but surely the engines aren't different in such a basic way as Turbo Filters?

nooobyscoooby

I have only ever seen them on newer cars. not easy to get to and remove the banjo bolt for the average DIY mechanic either....
