Help: Oil changes!!!!

Limeybastard · 02-19-2015, 03:29 AM

I did a write up on my first oil change on here somewhere.

So true about over tighting the sump drain plug, after over tightening my BMW once back in the UK I always just hand tight then a quart turn.

The last time I changed my oil in my Z was last week, I actually under tightened the oil filter as there was some oil weeping out of it. No biggie as not much oil was lost. I just use my hands to tighten the oil filter. Makes it so much easier to remove next time around.

Haters gonna hate, I used Mobil 1 0-40 euro spec again this time ;-)
