Insignia oil filter of doom.

[studabear]

A lot of you guys will I'm sure know how crap the insignia diesel oil filter is to replace as the oil that you lose hits the driveshaft then proceeds to fill the subframe and under tray. I now remove the under tray so i only have to clean the subframe.

Lad I work with bought this tool, it worked well, I have now purchased one. Should hopefully also work with the Astra and fiat 500xl that share the same garbage engine.

There's a similar problem on Defender 300Tdi oil filters - lands straight into the top of the front diff finning.

Up to now, I have used a piece of cardboard to cure this problem; I just throw it away and make a new one after each drain. I might see if this tool will do the same job!

The inshitnia takes longer to clean up the mess than to do the oil change.

good idea, a bit dear for what they are though, i have small folder & guillotine, think i'll have a go

It's quite a big thing when you actually have it on the car, I'm happy enough with the price as some are out there for circa £35
