New fuel filter.
This is the last OEM one in stock at my place.
I am waiting for the new batch to arrive since last year and still no production date yet so
going to switch to Mahle one for the future service until OEM one becomes back in stock.
The fuel came out from the old filter.
Because of the digital camera white balance, it may look light brown/yellow but for my eyes, it was more like dark brown/grey.
Not too bad but considering the mileage covered in the last 3 years, quite surprised how dirty it was.
Another reason why it should be replaced regularly regardless of the mileage.
New one installed.
Eng oil and filter replaced.
With huge dent at the oil pan, I can only extract about 100 - 200cc from the top.
Normally, with the healthy oil pan, I can get about 300 – 400cc.
When I was removing the wheels for the brake bleeding, I noticed that one of the wheel stud bolt at RL corner was not smooth.
It was the one with the wheel lock nut.
Interesting thing was that the same lock nut went smoothly on other bolts so I thought it was the stud bolt threads but
all of the OEM wheel nut went on smoothly without any friction.
So, it must be the minute difference between the OEM nut and the aftermarket lock nut.
I don't like re-threading the wheel stud bolt as it's the sign of cross threaded or over stretched bolt but with this one,
since OEM nut went on fine, re-threaded and marked it with red paint so that it can be replaced at the time of Eng Refresh as
the whole hub/brake assy will come off together with the eng/gbox assy.
As a pre-caution, recommended the owner to use OEM nut on this marked bolt for now and attach the lock nut on other bolts.
Time for the eng compression check.
#2 IG coil was replaced in the past by someone due to flashing CEL and misfire once warmed up.
