Will be fine mate.

Bare in mind though National Tyres will change your oil for you for £25. That includes 5L of Visco synthetic and a new filter. Cant do it for cheaper than that yourself...

The oil is fine by the way

well i cant get 1 lt of visco 5000 5w-40 for £3 quid and discount on reno parts, do the chage myself,

So you've save £5 for getting your hands filthy, having to pay to correct oil disposal at the tip, and skinning your knuckles

Although im guessing you don't have aircon which makes it easier.

Anyhow enjoy, was just giving you heads up.

 

[DH_GTI]

well no cos i can dispose of the oil at work, iam a engineer so not likely going to f**k knuckles, and the nearest National tyres place is a 60 mile round trip,

cheers for the heads up tho if there was a local one i would have got the to do it lol

 

[stew_punk]

maybe he'd rather work on the car himself than let a monkey near it and bugger it up!

 

[Martin]

i'm gonna do my own oil changes from now on it's a piece of piss pretty much...

 

[BenR]

lol, you did all that work stripping your car down to everything but the oil filter....but never changed it.

irony lol

 

[Martin]

lol yeah too tight to buy tools hows that for false economy!

 

[DH_GTI]

lol, yeh i hate sending my car to garages, they just dont look after it like i do, lol

 

[The Hoff]

Well theres not really an awful lot you can do wrong with an oil change, hardly rocket science. Just a fking pain in the arse to reach the filter, and screw it off.

Personally i've used them once. Cost me £25 for 5L of synthetic oil, a filter and labour. No complaints here.
