you dont need to drain the oil just use a rag if filter fits in from the top, or bag if fitted from below as saidCan I change oil filter without getting oil all over without dropping the oil first ! Just need to fit new filter for my own peace of mind. Only done 2000mls since oil change. Thanks guys

The filter is on top of the engine in the 'V'That has an external filter bowl doesn't it??
Reason why I'm only doing the filter is since its service at dealers she has a nasty habit of belching clouds of white smoke now and then and only when I accelerate smartly ease off and the smoke stops. Had car stood in P and took her all way upto rev limiter and no smoke Recently had a 200mile motorway run and at 60mph when not in fifties gave 40.8 mpg so engine seems spot on its just this irregular smoking that's doin mi ed in. Only thing that was done on engine at service was oil and filter so I want to replace filter for my own peace of mind. I'm just stuck for what's causing the smoking.
Never up revs in park. It breaks things.
