A lot of work, yet possibly little gain financially?

Have to agree, would be an awful lot of work.

The advert in your paper rings a bell, I remember a V plate Facelift Estate going though eBay, saying it was LPG converted but did't have an engine!

If you see this car Markiec, and its silver & missing its engine - then i suspect thats its being sold on again  :-/

On the up side its a CD model, so easier to sell than the basic GLS...

Looks like my jack. And stand. And that looks like my driveway used to, before Project TB1 decided to dump a shit load of coolant, dropping the oiling grime of the engine with it  

 

The pictures are from the oil change you did for me, i've only just got off my ass to do something with them

Great How to Tunnie  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Tho i reckon its still worth the 20squid I pay to have it done at my local garage
Its great value for entertainment  

The boss usually sends the apprentice to do the oil change
Car goes on the ramps.....nice hot engine so apprentice usually burns himself with the hot oil  
Even better entertainment if i take one of my veccys.....coz the oil filter is situated right next the exhaust down pipe from the manifold......first he burns himself with the hot oil then burns himself again trying to get the oil filter off  

B****y sadist......

I bet he films it has well, and the watches it at home. Laughing away in his rocking chair

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.

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?

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
Merv

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.

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..
