BigD Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 That oil is fine. @Maddogpro - I think it's 6 litres, and it's a cartridge filter which you need a 36mm 'special socket' for (one with the corners cut out to prevent rounding) - it's a Laser 3491 or equivalent. Simple job, no need to touch anything other than the filler cap, dipstick, sump plug and filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfielder Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've always stuck to using Ford oil in my last four cars. It's not expensive and is good quality too. Quick look on eBay will find you 6 litres for about £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooge75 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 whatever you do,DONT try and remove the end without the 36mm socket. you'll end up buggering the plastic nut.I nearly ruined mines,& that was just with one slip. 5.8ltrs mine took Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wreck the nut, you need to replace the whole casing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddogpro Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thankyou i have 36mm sockets so will give it a gentle go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The casing will be on there !Removed! tight (I needed an 18" breaker on mine - could not budge it with a standard ratchet), and in all seriousness you stand more than a fair chance of wrecking it without the correct tools.
