    Doing spark plugs on a Lexus, what is this rubber gasket?

    But you shouldn't see those when just taking out a spark plug, right? If they're between the cover and the head?

    Are you talking about the spark plug tube seals? They press into the valve cover. Pretty normal stuff in this type of engine. Are you talking about the spark plug tube seals?

    Doing spark plugs on a Lexus, what is this rubber gasket?

    Ok so, this is on 2006 IS250. Worst engine ever btw. And wow what a pain to do the plugs. Like 10x the work compared to BMW (n52 the only other car I've done spark plugs lol) with the manifold removal etc. Anyway. As I'm finishing up I notice a rubber gasket that sits right on top of where you...

    Does oil filter size matter?

    Thanks so much everyone! Thankfully the filter position is the best you can ask for, just up top and even easier than my N62 (from the base 3 series in 2009, 3.0L NA I6) because you don't have to mess with the (still very simple) process of removing/installing the cartridge.

    Would it be reasonable to assume, based on these photos, that Mobil 1 filters are garbage?

    Okay so I don't post much but I read a fair amount and appreciate y'all's community. Though ngl it is a ittle overwhelming at times haha. Anyway so I have an 09 328i (n52) with hella miles. I originally started out using the OEM Mann filters for obvious reasons, then I switched to the Wix XP...

    Do these oil filters look normal?

    Hi all, I have a 2009 328i for about 4 years now. It has lots of miles (226k) but runs mint. I started off using Mann filters (because OEM), but then decided to try the Wix XP and was impressed by how well it was put together. It has a wire mesh on the inside, and just felt much more durable...
