Hello people,

Slight dilemma atm. Changing oil on the weekend and oil filter. Noticed that oil filter HAD NO OIL AT ALL ? IT WAS DRY ? i was like OMGWTFXOSAUCE. :eek:

To me... this sounds like a major issue ? Anyone know wtfz0r is going on ?

Cheerios.

maybe you drained it that good.
lol.
sometimes it happens, if there was something wrong, with the flow of oil, your motor probably would of been dead already.
lol.
my eyes, not a major issue, happens sometimes to me.

if you left the car for a while sometimes the oil filter can be dry use a torch and shine inside should see the paper element wet and dirty. think you would have noticed at least the oil light turn on if you had a blockage in the system

if the car was sitting there for half a day or longer, oil would have leaked out of the filter back into the engine. always happens and there is nothing to be concerned about.

Well....

I still got that issue with the jumpy idle. Gonna clean IACV on weekend hopefully that helps. Also for some strange reason i top up like 100ml of radiator fluid a week. Its a new radiator. I crawled under looking for leaks. Can't find any. But thats another thread.

lol.
yeah clean the iacv.
you have to top it up?
no good, there IS a leak, somewhere if that is happening.
check, the radiator plug, squeeze the hoses, see if anything leaks.
check inside combustion chamber for coolant maybe.

Then thats not a good sign... Might have a leaky head gasket or head

First get the radiator and cap pressure tested to make sure they are holding the pressure
Most workshops can do it on the car as its just a pump operated thing
