Carrier bag, to catch the oil that runs out of the filter as you remove it!

What about all the other fluids,

Tbox, engine, gbox, diffs.

Swivels, you would need to check if it has level plugs or not, otherwise you could dump too much one shot into them.

Also,

Check and if still plastic , change your coolant bleed plugs for brass ones.

I am assuming the service interval on a 300tdi is the same as my 200tdi at 6k. If so quantities required are lots as if you do any milage at all you are likely to be servicing it every 6 months or less, so far better to order large quantities (cheaper) and have it on the shelf for regular top ups and future servicing.
