I wanted to learn how to edit videos, and my car needed servicing. So I figured why not film it and use the content to learn how to video edit. Anyway this is the result of my bad filming and entry level editing skills.
Nice video Adam. Well explained what and why. On 6:40, when removing the old oil filter, you could use a leakproof, transparent freezer bag of e.g 5 litres. Just open the bag, catch the filter inside it and start loosen it. With the bag you will catch the running oil and the dirty filter. This way you keep your hand and machinery clean.
Correct process is warm engine, undo filler cap to allow air in for drainage, undo sump plug first and drain oil, then undo oil filter, fill new oil filter with fresh oil, smear oil on face of filter then reassemble.
I agree with undo sump plug first before removing the oil filter. But I undo the filler gap after the sump plug. Reason is that it reduces the flow a little bit when undoing the plug so there is less change of a mess. That's my theory at least, don't know if it matters much.
Great little car. Has mine 9 years, 116,000+ miles on the clock, 9 years of issue free motoring, just replacement parts covering wear and tear. Replaced my 107 with a Suzuki celereo, wish I hadn't now 😂
When putting in new oil I recommend using a funnel or even a water bottle cut in half so all the oil goes in as you don’t want burning oil on your engine but great video👍✌️
It is better to change oil when the engine is cold because all the oil is in the oil pan. Use a funnel when put new oil in the engine. The exact amount of oil with an oil filter change is 3.1 liters.
