oil change questions
just wanted to ask a few questions about changing the oil on my vp, long story short i was lazy so took it to get serviced but realised i could save some $ so save me some flaming if these questions are stupidi have read the how to on oil change and have got the oil i need sorted but
what oil filter should i use, should i get a new sup plug washer everytime, and last of all where exactly can i refill the oil?
rather ask the question than be sorry after
cheers
19mm spanner for the plug, you dont have to change the washer every time but probly a good idea. oil filter strap may help geting the filter of and v6 takes a z154 and the v8
has a Z160. (ryco part numbers)
yep read the how to
only thanks burnout 124
only 1 more question where do i fill the oil up?? its a stupid question but not exactly sure
the rocker cover cap???
yer mate rocket cover cap it will go down the hole slow watch it dont overflow
when u filled it run the motor for a short while (like 20 seconds) then switch off then check your dipstick.
WEll, thats what the all the mechanics at the workshops i have done work exp at have done

I thought it was run it, than allow a couple of minutes for the oil to make it back to the sump and then check it?Originally Posted by somefool

Yeah I wait a few minutes before checking again.
Make sure its on reasonably level ground when you check the dipstick too.
yep, thats the proper way to do it, i guess these guys at ultra tune dont have time to wait a few minutes.
well, by the book, you let the car warm up and check the oil hot, after the car is switched off and sitting for a few minutes.
Follow the book, give it time to drain back to the sump and yes check it on level ground
