RE: Oil and Filter Change

You dont mention it but I was always taught to change the oil with the   
engine hot so that more of the old oil came out as it was less viscous.   
  You might  also consider using an engine flush which further decreases   
viscosity - I never have but I know some people swear by them as a means   
of getting all the dirt out of the engine.

Subject:  Oil and Filter Change

Hi everyone
I have just completed an oil change and always wonder if I do it   
correctly.
Jack up car about 5 inches.
Locate 5L container under drain plug. Clean around drain plug, undo and   
let
oil drain.

I am always a bit concerned starting up with no pressure.
However I have 40K  plus miles on this engine, with pressure at tickover   
only
down about 1 point in that time.

The cost of the oil and filter is 11.39 GBP.
