Quick question. Is it a 24mm socket/spanner for the paper oil filter.

Remember little smear of grease on the rubber o-ring on re-fitting, makes things easier on next oil change.  :y

I do that for the 4 pot canisters, as you re-fill it's nice and easy, but for reasons unknown even to me I use grease on the paper ones. Think it was that fatty admin which got me onto that habbit!

Maybe cause the V6 is just that little bit more awkward, the easier the better  ;D
