As posted under the topic "does LR use sythetic motor oil" I have recommended for the TD4 engines with DPF to change the motor oil immediately after collecting the car from the dealer, as LR/Ford is obviously not recommending/using the appropriate motor oil for DPF equipped TD4 engines.

Thank you Paul, yes it was you I were thinking of. There must be a better way to change the oil filter than to scratch my arms and hands besides other aquard positions to get to this damm thing. Not what you think, Carlfraz...!

If you dismounted the engine first, it would go much easier to unscrew the filter...

Anyway, one of this days I'll have to visit the dealer (one of the parking sensors is broken) so I'll ask if they have any magic tool or procedure. |

Yamaha-Fan, I have good news for you: there seems to be a special tool for the oil filter removal.

I am sure that in such "cheep" tools not every dealer or repair shop will invest in. So how do they change the oil filter without looking afterwards as having had a fight with your house cat?

Ub2 - there are a variety of Mobil 1 oils on the market. If you speak of Mobil 1 0W40 or 5W40 supersyn, or the Mobil 1 5W30 ESP Formula (emission system protection) - perfect.
