I have a question about the oil filter canister on my recently acquired 82 240D. During my first oil change, I noticed that there are two o-rings attached to the bottom of the shaft that is used to center the oil filter when placed inside of the container; this shaft also is part of the lid to close the container. My question is, What is the purpose of these o-rings and how often should these o-rings be replaced?
