Howdy!!
I had a bit of a look around here an on the net, couldn't find any info for a DIY oil change for a Gen III. surely not everyone puts there car in the shop for this??
So i had a crack at the steps involved for my VU series II SS ute
1. Warm car up a bit
2. Jack up car and put on jack stands
3. Remove oil filler cap, then sump plug and let drain
4. When most of the oil has drained, remove oil filter
5. Clean sump plug & oil filter areas, spills etc
6. Smear clean oil on new oil filter o-ring, nearly fill filter with oil and re-attach
7. Put sump plug/washer back on
8. Add about 4 litres of fresh oil, check oil level, add more oil etc etc till all good – put oil filler cap back on
Does this sound about right including the order?
Do you guys bother with engine oil flush before changing oil?
I don't need a torque wrench do I?
Any other tips?
Cheers!!
