You'll need to get the filter from the dealer, but in reality, giving it a wash out will do the job. Be careful, though, it's a very fine mesh.

Do not worry, anyone recently смененное the oil in the diesel engine quickly will darken from behind received carbon. The oil absorbs it(him), but property and присадки does not lose about 5-7 thousand киолометров (replacement of oil as it is possible more often, no more than 4 times per one year).

Good luck on your roads!
