Our recommendation:
The B58's oil filter housing is made of plastic and is prone to cracking and leaking. If the housing fails, oil and coolant can mix — a potentially catastrophic failure. If you notice oil spots or a burning smell, have the oil filter housing inspected promptly. An aftermarket metal housing upgrade is available.
