Thread: Puma oil change - easy as pie

10,000 for me as well.

10,000km as well, Orxy is now on 22600km

Last service was at 16,000km but we just did a 6000km trip in Namibia so the oil will be changed now. I am also changing all the other oils - diffs, gearbox & transfer case as well.

G'Day Spud, I know this is an old thread and I could be asking the obvious here, but the socket you used to remove the oil filter, any idea which one it is? I don't have one to fit in the old package deal set I purchased so was going to just get the specific size required. Thanks mate.

is there any way to get to the filter without getting under the vehicle?

all the other shed classes I've ever worked on you only had to slide under the vehicle to undo the drain plug the oil filter could always be gotten at from one of

sitting along side the vehicle
sitting in front of and reaching in from the front
reaching down the side of the engine inside the engine bay

Original post mentioned 26mm; I think from memory this is the same size as the wheel nuts- try your wheel socket, might save you some coin?

Gave my son instructions on changing oil on his puma yesterday, filter was 27mm.

He learned a valuable lesson - make sure the drain tray is positioned correctly . Fair bit of black oil over himself and the garage floor for him to clean up. Luckily the floor has a good seal over it, and he's waterproof.

Yeah but I wish the Puma also had a centrifugal oil filter.
That little unit did a wonderful job of keeping the oil clean on the Td5.

The easiest vehicle is still the Td6 in the L322 RR's,the Tdci is a close second. Pat
