Again, the lack of recent posts reflects how well the car is going.
The time for an oil & filter change has arrived. In previous years I have regularly tried (and failed) to undo the filter, so have contracted the job out. This year I was determined to do it myself.
So the first thing to do was buy a proper tool. Because of the location of the filter high up behind the radiator (I have a remote oil filter to avoid breaking it by bottoming out) the normal chain type was no good, so I went for one that I could operate from underneath, so bought this:
So with a new filter and 5 liters of 10/40 motor oil. I tackled it. And everything went well, albeit a bit 'messy'. Since then I am seeing a small 'weep' from the drain plug so if it gets any worse I will buy a new gasket and redo it. Otherwise next year 😆
