Hi guys, I have a question. The dealer told me they have free oil change for 3 years on my new venue. but when I change the oil for the first time on new cars, I like to change very early. the first 1K miles. I am sure the Dealer doesn't want to change it so soon but I always do it as there is always small metal shavings in every new motor. So I bought two oil filters for the venue. Had to go to the dealer parts because there is no oil filter available in any car parts store! I thought this is strange. When I examined the filter, I see there is a 1 inch small plastic thingy sticking out from the screw side of the filter.
It looks like it will protrude into the engine when screwed in to the motor?? Does anyone know anything about this? I really don't want to start the oil change with out knowing what this is and how it works?
