Clean oil filter. Am I safe?

[Ciao]

IMS bearing is always a worry; keep the oil and filter changed with correct type of oil (synthetic) & weight for your climate and worry less about it.

Thanks, Ciao. I would consider changing the IMSB when I'd change the clutch if it was a manual, but since it's an automatic (Bought for my wife, but I enjoy it too), there's no convenient time for me to do it.

I think I'll follow your advise and keep up on the oil and filter and enjoy the car. If the IMSB blows up, I can find another motor for 3k or less.

I read 5K miles or every year, whichever came first. Does that sound right? And yes, always synthetic.
