Did an oil and filter change today, along with engine flush. Everything went fairly well and a nice sunny afternoon to boot. I thought that something had gone drastically wrong when I let the car down. I heard a loud hissing sound and smelt something that was familiar.
I had 5 seconds of utter panic before I realized there was a can of wd40 stood under the front bumper. 1/4 of a can of wd40 wasted.
What a difference the oil and filter change made though.

I really must do my oil and filter, it's well over due :-[

If it has made that much difference, do another at 500m, then stick to 3 - 4k changes :y

oil and filter changes do make a huge difference!! My 2.2 was abused in its previous life, regular changes made a big difference! :D
Also clean the breather system and throttle bodys, that helps too :)

Mine was & I'd wanted to do mine yesterday while I was on a rest day from work, but not having access to underwater breathing apparatus I couldn't. ;) I got my act together when I got home at 8 and did it! :y
