Doing an oil change

[Scotty]

Here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft1IkFZkJts&feature=player_embedded) is a somewhat flippant summary of oil changing - amusing, and for those who've never tried, terribly informative.... ;)

I do my own servicing anyway apart from the transalp as its still on warranty but that vid was hilarious.

funny vid.

I still have bad visions of old oil pissing everywhere but the drip tray a few months ago :o I'll be better prepared next time!

Lino offcuts are your friend ;)

I have a big piece that unrolls right across the back of my garage for doing mucky jobs - if I do spill anything I can mop it up rather than have it soak in and permanently stain the floor!

Top tip:
Before you fit you new cartridge - style filter, fill it with oil & leave it for 5 mins. The filter paper will absorb about 1 1/2 fills & allows the new oil to flow straight thro without






wasting


valuable


seconds

saturating

the filter




itself before going round the engine... ;)

Normal filters can be placed in an old tin can & presoaked:

Saves slopping oil in the filter 10 seconds before fitting it and pouring oil down the front of the engine/exhaust pipes while frenziedly trying to screw it on... ::)
