: : ...if the oil has been in there for ages then there can be deposits of crud lodged in various bits around the engine/gearbox. The idea is that the fresh oil could loosen up the crud and send it to all kinds of places in the engine/gearbox that you don't want it to go to.

  - The filter is simply just a screen in it if I remember correctly. no real point in changing. --> Matt (93SE) 13:28:02 9/04/2002 (1)
