I just bought this car and wanted to get to know it a little better so I decided to do the oil change myself. I drained the oil and took out the filter just to find out that the new filter is the wrong size. I took it back and they said that's what they have for a '79 240D. I went to a few other places and they essentially said the same thing. So now my car sits eagerly awaiting a new filter. I'm going to clean off the old filter and get some numbers off of it, but is there something I'm missing? Do I need to go to a dealer?
I'd really love to get it up and running again, I mean this is rediculous.
