Changing oil for dummies

[172gal]

I like to look after my car best i can, i have never attempted to change the oil before so help would be good!

So how do you change it?

Is it a good idea to change the oil every 5k?

Thanks!

Easiest and cheapest way is to book it in at ur local Nationals.

Had mine done yesterday, cos £15 for the filter and semi-synthetic oil. Cars running loads better now and they done a good job.

Much cleaner than doing it urself

HTH

Do they do this at the 12k service or do they just top up as required??

Also, what oil do people use in the Cup??

Thanks...

No dont worry the hardest bit is undoing the oil filter then it is plain sailing. Will take about 1 hour max to do if you are following the guide.
