With regards too changing the oil is there any advise that people have from experiance. Have done this on most of my cars but all of them have their own quirks.

But YOU MUST PRIME OIL FILTER before fitting the new one
Smimple really.. If you have done other cars .. common sence
1- warm the engine up
2- undo the filler cap
3- drain oil
4- undo filter drain off
5- fit new sump plug copper washer
6- Prime filter and smear oil on rubber o ring re fit
7- replace oil .. to dip stick level
8- run for 1 min to get the oil around the engine ..then swtich off .. leave for 2 mins then cheak oil and top up if needed ..
9- check for leaks
Job done Piss take Comments Welcome
