Well today was fun;)......cracked exactly 1500 miles today, so decided to give it its first oil change..

With the front up on axle stands I removed the sump plug and let it drain, then to the filter:frusty:.....not a lot of room in there, but luckily, a pair of marigolds gave enough grip for me to get it undone by hand:hail:...phew.

Fitted a brand new sump plug, (19 ft/lbs), got the new filter in and tightened down... 7 litres of Castrol magnatec 5w20, and job done:cheers:

Where did you source the sump plug?

Where did you source the sump plug?

...and why? Is this common practice? [apologies for the mech-deficient question...I've not changed oil in decades...]

If it has a copper crush washer or rubber 'o' ring that holds it from vibrating loose it's a good idea to change it when changing the oil. Less so with an 'o' ring unless it's getting on a bit. You used be able to just change the washer.

I got a couple of spare plugs chucked in with my order from Levittown.....

The sump plug uses an o ring, and it looks like it'll last for a fair few oil changes, but I usually let my old plug fall into the receptical, fit a new clean plug, then fish the old one out and clean it for next time....... It's not like I chuck em away

Just find it less messy this way, and keeps hot oil from getting on your hands

Just a little update

I now have my Borla resonator (courtesy of JW racing) whom were very good to deal with

Also had a call from Robbie at Steeda to say that my diff bush support kit was on its way...

So all being well, next week will be the big install of all my stuff:cheers:
