There you are Ryan and you didnt need to go to spek savers

remember to turn the engine over to fill and prime the oilfilter before final top-up and measure. if it requires say 4.5 ltrs[example], put 3.5 in and turn engine over[remove coil lead]. this will prime filter. then continue to top-up. do not overfill. and do not overtighten the sump plug. you will be amazed how many people get it wrong.

unos don't use a compression washer do they?

 

[bulldog5046]

well no need tro worry about me overtightening it, i cant get the bastard thing off i had a foot long wrench on the end of the key but it just wont shift, time for a garage to brake it and replace it for me i think

You doing it the right way? Being upside down can alter your sense of which way to turn.

 

[bulldog5046]

i checked that three times lol...

So you tried to twist from the passenger side wheel to the driver side wheel?

yeah, i was trying to explain it in my other post but then it just sounded stupid so i removed it

EDIT: i really dont wanna try again, i think i might rip the head off the sumplug

took it to the local garage and the guy got a 2 foot long poll on the end of his wrench to undo it.... pissed myself the first thime tho he came out with a tiny little wrench expecting to undo it.
