I know on older models that the flame trap was a disaster waiting to happen.. Is it that way with the 850?

    If you have turbo you don't have one.

    If you have non-turbo time for change (or some say just remove and go without). I think recommended replacement is at 30k. But not to worry unless leaking oil from blown seals. Just don't wait too long to check.
