Yup, make sure you do your warning lights, it isn't a difficult job and is VERY worthwhile If you don't come right, let me know and you can pop over one evening and I'll quickly do it.

jackso11 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Its easy mate, there must be a guide on here. Sump plug out, drain, leave open for ages to let it all out. plug back in (remember the gasket washer and chage it if its bust, should be fine though) take off the old filter. I have since been told it is easy to do if you unbolt the power steering reservoir and move it out the way, I didn't and ended up with no skin on my knuckles. Careful with this, its full of oil so keep it upright! Fill up the new filter with oil, put it on. open the top, put in oil. Bolt down your power steering reservoir again. Done.

Unbolt power steering Why, no need for that Also don't forget to rim the new oil filter (with oil that is ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
