hello

only need a very basic service next time, how tricky is an oil and filter change to do?...i was thinking of buying the filter and oil my self and getting a local garage to do it BUT only if its easy...?

i can change the air filter myself anytime so not worried about that...( car had "big" service when i bought it (£400) and 3rd gear sync replaced and i have only done 1,100 miles in 6months!!!)...

thanks...

ps...don't tell me to do it myself as i have no tools /ramp or more importantly "ability".....:facepalm4:

Its not a difficult job really, but easier to have the car in the air or at least on a pair of ramps. Just drain the oil from the sump replace filter and washer and top up. The dispose of the old oil in an ecological way.

Sounds easy but has anyone actually taken their oil filter off?

Its a right bi... to get to.
