About this deal
Apparently this is not just a maxes problem plenty of Audi and Toyota landcrusers out there with similar problems too. I have a SEAT Arona due its first service soon and there is no SEAT dealer near me but there is a decent Volkswagen one.
An advantage of magnetic filtration is that maintaining the filter simply requires cleaning the particles from the surface of the magnet.I think the insurance company will say you are partially to blame for not pulling over as soon as the oil light flickered. Other vehicle hydraulic systems, such as those in automatic transmissions and power steering, are often equipped with an oil filter. A 60-mesh strainer captures contaminants at around a 240-micron level, while a 100-mesh strainer captures at a 150-micron level. To be honest if you don't know what to do without reading the handbook I would be very worried about your knowledge af cars. Independants can be very good, but they do not often have anything to match the dealers computer system and usually cannot do a full learn.
I think the fact that you only bought it recently may help you if it ends up as drama but hoepfully the insurance company will see sense. This requires periodic replacement of the filter element (or the entire filter, if the element is not separately replaceable). I expect they will do this or I will be focussing on why nobody told me selecting the oil service would effect my warranty. To ensure effective solid particle ingression balance, the engineer must consider various elements such as whether the filter will be for protection or for contamination control, ease of access for maintenance, and the performance of the unit being considered to meet the challenges of the target set.Simplex strainers also have a large particle holding capacity with less pressure drop over the length of the filter element. Automatic transmissions in vehicles frequently have a magnet in the fluid pan to sequester magnetic particles and prolong the life of the media-type fluid filter.
