Engine Mechanical problem

I went to my car service and they told me that the oil pipe outlets need to be cleaned I do not understand why.... isnt the filter supposed to block any wastes to get inside?

They are asking for money, yes? Scams come in many forms these days.

I do not know the specifics of your conversation with the service provider, but it seems that a vehicle still under the factory warranty should not require having the oil pipes cleaned.
