Doughie Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 Just changed the oil this afternoon. Just reinforces what a pain in the ar*se it is to get that damn filter off, and a new one on. (from above). Because it's at an angle, all the old oil gushes everywhere, and makes the whole thing a slippery hot nightmare! To move the PAS fluid reservoir, you not only have to undo the 3 bolts, but unclip and faff around with other cables and connectors. Then i had to stop mid-way to go buy an oil filter remover cos it was on too tight to get off by hand. think next time i might just do the oil change and leave the filter for others..... Shame i ran out of daylight to do the brake fluid change ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 Quite a few jobs on the Supe are a PITA. Tip for changing the oil filter is to lay a rag, underneath it when removing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wall Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 I prefer to do it from under the car, as it is easier to put rags etc in the right places to catch the oil. It still is APITA Best excuse ever for not changing the brake fluid;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ring Master Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Top tip from Justin "Top Mechanic Foden" Masturbate 3 times per day, after 6 months your wrists will be strong enough to remove oil filters by hand. Atleast, thats how Supragirl manages to do it Seriously, with the correct "tools" you can remove the power steering pump in less than a minute.
