I have a 1983 240 D and a 1981 300SD. The oil filter is accessed from the top and they have a hollow metal shaft with two o-rings on the lower end of the shaft. How often should these o-rings be replaced? How do you clean out the hollow shaft? I use brake cleaner and compressed air. Are you supposed to run a wire or cleaning brush through this shaft to keep it clear or just rinse it out.
