Morning all,
I agree with most that the service interval seems a bit long so I'm doing filters and oil at the half way point myself.
According to the manual, you can loosen the oil filter from above with a cap type tool? - I've only ever seen strap types, (chain or fabric) so is this a Nissan special ? I did have a crawl underneath and tried to get the filter off by hand but it did not want to play ball :roll:
My other query was - Does the upside down filter drain when the engine is off or should I get ready to be covered in oil when I break the seal and start to remove it? :shock:
While I was messing around, I checked the air filter and it was fairly black with tyre dust so changed that for new. (On my Disco, you could tell when the air filter needed changed because the turbo used to get quiet, it also tended to clog up with tyre dust
)
