Hey Guys,
I'm going to attempt my first oil change on my ZD30 D22, and as this is my first diesel vehicle if someone could shed some light for me it would be greatly appreciated. I have searched, but the info I'm after I cant find.
Would I be right in saying that
1-Get the engine warm
2-remove sump plug and drain oil
3-While oil is draining remove the outer filter case and filter.
4-Check filter for any foreign matter
5-Replace sump plug
6-Replace filter with rubber ring
7-Then refill oil measuring with a cup
The area I'm not so sure on is the filter. How do you guys fill the filter up with oil when its horizontal? Doesnt the oil pour straight out? And is there a specific torque setting the filter case needs to be tightened too, or is by hand sufficient?
After having a petrol patrol and my Nav is my daily I want to make sure I get it right. Any help would be really great guys as I want to try and do this before the weekend if possible.
