Going to do a oil change on my TD4 any advise. Do I need to remove the bash plate?
I am also going to change the crank breather fillter again any advise.
When you also change the oil filter I found it much easier to remove the lid of the oilfilter when I loosened the tube of the dipstick (one 10 mm bolt). Otherwise I couldn't manage to take the lid away and the old filter out of the housing.
hi on removing the full frame for my first oil change i made it easier for the second by drilling out the rivets holding the plastic cover in place and tie wraped the cover back on using the holes in the brackets and the two bolts backin that hold the rear i found this works ok for me !
Dont remove the entire undertray , its just a pain in the ass. Remove the back 2x 10mm bolts, remove the 2x 13mm bolts each side. get a bit of cardboard , fold it down the middle to form a long V channel, get your ratchet and long extension with a 15mm socket on it, then simply drain it down the V tray you made into whatever container.
Sounds a pain, but imho, simply the best way to do it
Go to Kwik Fit They remove tray drain and fill with full synth and supply and fit new filter for £34 all in - no contest - it's Mobil 3000 as well and yes they know it takes over 7 litres ! And no I dont work etc for them either - this just seems really good value.
Oopps typo - I know is 6 not 7 lts. Hey that Millers is cheap - where from?
Try this:
Trident 5w40 Scunthorpe, Lincoln, Lincolnshire, Grimsby, Doncaster
I bought 3 x 5 litres to offset the carriage of £9. Send PM if you want more details.
Best I can find is this one, (best price I mean, no idea about quality of product)
Carlube Triple R Fully Synthetic 5w 40 Motor Oil 4ltr | Car Motor Oil | | Car Care from Wilkinson Plus
And it's 4L so I'd need 2 along with a filter so that Kwik-Fit deal needs some attention.
Kwik-Fit could do Mobil 1 with an original Landrover filter for £10 & I still wouldn't use them. Personal experience with them many years ago I'm afraid.
