 +There have been negative comments about in-tank oil filters in the past, but these all refer to an old, original "horse hair" filter. ((IronMick of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=2072162)) \\ 
 +The modern replacements are very good indeed. \\
 +But you'll need to shorten your dipstick to use the newer in-tank filters unless you find a "​Horsehair"​ type. ((Popgadget of the XLFORUM http://​xlforum.net/​forums/​showthread.php?​t=2072162)) \\
 +The newer pleated paper ones are a better choice though. \\
 +See the example below of shortening the dipstick. \\
