Hi there,

I'm looking at doing an oil and filter change on my 1.3 mj Panda and would appreciate any help in respect of how I get to the oil filter and how I go about changing the filter. I have been quoted £70 by the dealer for an oil & filter change which seems a bit steep.

Also, can anyone recommend suitable oil as well?

Many thanks
 
Dead easy - should only take about 10 mins.
Remove the bolts holding the metal shield in place, then remove the plastic filter housing. (Drivers side, front of engine)
Lift out the oil filter element (note: there are two slightly different types ) and fit the new one. Fit new o-ring on the filter housing and replace, but don't overtighten. Refit the metal cover and that's it.

Filters are about £6 if I remember correctly, last oil I used was Comma Syner-D fully synthetic, about £30 for 5ltr.
