-2 x axle stands & 2 x chock blocks
-oil filter removal tool
-new oil filter
-4.5 litres of 10w40 semi-synthetic engine oil
-bucket (preferably small enough to fit under the car while its on the stands)
-8mm allen key
-1 x 10/11/12/13mm spanner
-1 x funnel
-gloves (i use latex ones but whatever you prefer
)If possible try to do this around 45mins or so after
First off, jack the car up and put the axle stands under it and chock blocks behind the rear wheels to prevent rolling:
OIL FILTER CHANGE
Once done, remove the oil cap (to allow the passage of air and fluids thereby allowing the oil to drain out easier)
Your new filter should look something like this:
Put on your gloves.
Now, from standing infront of the driver's side front wheel and looking under the car, to your right slightly you should see the oil filter location (circled in red in pic below)
Below is a picture of how to affix the oil filter removal tool to the oil filter (old one on the car, i just used the new one as it's easier to show you), there should be instructions on the packaging when you buy the tool anyway.
When you have the tool attached to the old filter, use it to turn the old filter in an anticlockwise motion and as you do so, place the bucket beneath it to catch the filter and the used oil contained within.
Allow the oil to drain till it slows to a drip every minute or so, then using some new engine oil, dip your finger in and rub it around the rubber gasket at the top of the filter. Use tissue or a cloth to clean all old oil from the oil filter mount. Then screw the new filter into place.
Screw in until hard to turn.
New filter in place:
OIL CHANGE
Unfortunately my camera died at this point, but oh well
I got a snap of where the sump nut is anyway
(circled in red below)Anyway, put the 8mm Allen Key into the nut, and then put the ring end of the spanner around the Allen Key to give you extra leverage.
Then pull away at it (anticlockwise!) and it'll start to give. Grab the bucket and position it under the nut, but remember that the oil will pour out in the direction the hole is facing so make sure your bucket is in the right place
Once the oil is drained, clean the area around the sump nut hole and the nut itself, and screw the sump nut back in place.
Then put the funnel into the oil hole in your rocker cover and slowly pour in you new oil.
Job done.... almost
