Oil & Filter change

[chris7ian]

Anybody ever had a stuck sump plug? I've never had a problem remembering which way to tighten or loosen a bolt, regardless of it's orientation, so it's not that, but my sump plug simply won't budge

Good luck with it, and please tell us how you did

Sure will do!

Oil change all done last week.

However, I think some idiot has overtighten my sump plug previously. I got a replacement sump plug, as former looked a bit worn. Had a bit of an issue starting the thread, when putting back in. I got it in ok. Though the winding in I thought would of been more fluid!
No leaks, though at the next oil change (probably 2018), maybe re-threading is required!

Good work

A simple job seldom goes smooth.

Something to look forward to next year eh.

Yes, along with the exhaust replacement in S/S!

Thanks, I just used a longer spanner than the Fisher Price I'd tried...
