Tunnie - I've modified your guide, putting in torx bit size, bit about older ones with copper washer, and filter only should be hand tight

Ah ok cheers, to me was very tight, i could't do it up tight enough!  


I need to get a picture of the Vx oil and filter, i'll do that tommorow. Can you add the type of oil needed?

[TheBoy]

Can you add the type of oil needed?

What? An oil thread in LB66's absence

Well no one can reply to it being a guide..

I thought the creator was still able to modify even when in the maintenance guide part.

Tunnie top guide  

[TheBoy]

Yes, creator should be able to update for 24hrs...

Top guide. I especially like the pics of the trolley jack/axle stand positions.
I was told years ago to remove the filler cap before doing an oil change 'cos it helps the oil to flow out, although to be honest; I'm not sure it would make any difference.

Another top guide Tunnie, well done.

Any chance of getting your camera under a real engine and including the v6 pics for completeness, and explaining why the V6 needs a filter removal tool.

Cheers

Neither need removal tool unless it is too rather tight!

4 pot is so easy to get at though, if it is tight, you can normally still get off by hand. V6 is a little more of a reach, and therefore less easy if on tight...

Only differences are sump bolt is on very bottom of sump on v6, and filter is near rear of passenger side of block (next to crank sensor) - need to ideally remove front wheel for decent access.

Real engine!   - For that no, you V6 people will have to find it on your own  

Only kidding, think i have a piccy someware of the V6 oil filter. I may get another one, and also of the tools need for you V6 people.

Thanks for the replys everyone, pictures for me help a huge amount when doing jobs. As you can print them out and compare them to your own car, also its a lot easier to find things compared to a text description.

Forgot about the V6 sump being different. I might jack up project B and get some piccys of that.

Although that will be after the 24 hour elapsed, so I might need admin powers?

I can move it somewhere - ie Test section - let you modify, then move back. That way you wont need Admin
