AAZ oil plug

Can someone please confirm I've got this right.

A is the oil drain plug and B is oil return for the turbo? I know, it's as basic as it gets :oops:

I have to do an oil change as I've had all sorts of pressure/buzzer issues since a service at the garage and I can't trust the dipstick for levels. Not sure what oil has been put in either.

If I'm changing the oil and leaving the filter on, how much oil should I put in, or should I just change the filter too?

Thanks

A is the drain plug.

Why not do a full service and mark up the dipstick at the correct level. Your engine will have 4.5 litres with a filter change

Thanks. I think a full oil service is best too. :ok

I've only gone and rounded off the effing bolt :evil:
I assumed it was m14 so I tried a few sockets to see which was closest and a 13mm seemed really tight. Have I used the wrong socket? I've ordered some Irwin bolt removers in the mean time.
Any tips?

It's a 13mm, try knocking on a half inch socket if you have rounded it
