Possible to Change Oil Filter Without Changing Oil?

4. Is it necessary to change the oil filter every time you change oil in a Duke 200?

If you're already changing the oil, honestly, why would you also not change the filter for an extra few dollars at the same time? That makes no common sense at all.While the oil is draining, remove the old filter and then recharge it. Once the oil has drained and is a very faint occasional drop, reinstall the drain plug, reinstall the new oil filter with the cover, and then add-in the required oil. Measure the oil level and add as needed to the upper lever of the max area. Now start the engine and let it idle on it's own for a few minutes, then shut it off and recheck the oil level. Add poil as needed.These filters are only $4-6 USD at the most through many online sources via eBay, aliexpress, and other parts sources. Order a box of 4-6 filters and then store them for future use. This way you'll always have them, and save yourself lots of money from regular retail prices.Now the price of replacing your engine or rebuilding it is almost $2,000, so replacing the $4-6 USD oil filter when performing an oil change should be common sense and a routine practice. That is, unless you've got a bottomless pit of money to burn replacing engines due to failed oil filters or other damage caused by not changing it.Is it necessary to change the oil filter every time you change oil in a Duke 200?

7. Does anybody knows how to change the transmission oil filter for a chevy Malibu 1998?

there is a pan under your car at bottem of transmission. it is pretty big like 10 by 12 inches wide, and has around 14 bolts in it. take all those out and drain fluid into a bucket. now get transmission fluid and filter gasket set at autozone or pep boys or whatever. when you drop the transmission pan wipe the bottem of pan out and leave the magnets in there, they collect all the grazed metal. pull the two bolts out of the filter and replace it. now wipe down the pan and replace the gasket and put it back on and add bolts. then replace the transmission fluid. then on a level surface go through all the gears and with the car in park and running check the fluid to see if it is correct level. i usually do this once a year and the next year i have it flushed for like 100 bucks at mechani or jiffey lube. now by draining tranny and replacing the filter you are only changing half the fluid cause the other half is in the torque converter so thats why it is nice to flush it sometimes, hope this helps. on another part. you might need a second person putting the pan back on cause keeping the bolts lined up inside the gasket can be tricky
