I didn’t know I needed this until a samba forum recommended it. Since then I met someone who changes theirs yearly! I think mine was the original…old and new filters in photo.

I purchased this as part of a steering rack replacement. I’m pretty sure I’m running the original filter. It’ll be nice to have a fresh filter.
