monk50 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Changed the battery on my 2005 LLBean 3.0 sedan today. With battery out I noticed a filter in the cavity close to the fender. It is a black filter and the portion I could see said oil filter on the canister itself. What is this oil filter ,did not see it in the manual Did not see it in the Haynes manual. How often to change etc an any other information would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

CNY_Dave Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Could be a trans filter if this is an auto. Earlier H6's have one under the fender liner there. Some people incorrectly replace them with an oil filter. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk50 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I purchased the car used with 23,000 miles on it and the battery looked original. The filter in question has written on it "oil filter". I think it is strange that it is not mentioned in the manuals. Thanks for your input. monk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
