2. Eng Oil, filter and Air cleaner element
The owner brought the new air cleaner element with him but on inspection, the existing one was still clean so just took the photo and told him that it would be fine for quite a while.
Time to replace the engine oil and oil filter.
However, there were several markings on the old oil filter and when I tried to remove it, I found the reason.
It was so tight that it didn’t move at all using my standard oil filter wrench. It actually deformed my filter wrench....
For the first time on NSX, I had to use my rubber strap wrench to loosen the filter. (In fact, just this week, I had to use it again on another NSX.) I think lots of markings were done when someone tried to remove it and just gave up in the past.
New filter with Mobil-1 topped up before fitting it to the oil cooler base.
After draining as much oil as possible from the oil pan, I normally use suction pump to take out around further 500cc from the top.
