i will post pictures once i get them done. it might take a while but.
my next major service (20k km) is due about september sometime.
i now have about 14k km done, and im doing the minor 15k km service myself. i will inspect the filters at that time, but im fairly certain that i will just be blowing them out, and not replacing them untill the next service.
as for the oil, i will make sure i get a good quality one, as there's no point in using foam filters if you skimp on the oil. as you know, it's the oil that does the filtering, not the foam.
also, it's very important not to over oil the foam. this will lead to poor fuel economy, and could potentially damage the throttle body unit. conversly, too little oil and you dont have sufficient filtration.
