I've changed the oil & oil filter twice before the 1st service.

It's not too difficult - just work from the bottom up, and remember that you need to keep the oil filter case (which is plastic).

No way am I going to fanny about at the dealers - when I can do it myself Thumbs Up


What socket / wrench do you use mate and do you take off the plastic shield at the front of the engine bay as well as the metal guard?? Question


I just removed the metal skid plate, directly below the engine - there are 6 bolts. Here you access the oil drainage plug also. To remove the plastic oil filter cover, I just used a small set of adjustable grips - that I gripped on to the plastic nut at the tip of the filter cover. I didn't have to remove the plastic shield at the front of the engine bay.

Cheers Thumbs Up

Hope that helps Thumbs Up

I got myself one of these. Much much easier to change the filter

Can supply them for £22 if anyone is interested Whistle


Could you please tell me what size the spanner is that you bought? Is it an 18mm as shown on the photo.

Thanks
