I pump oil out using rotary pump. Test oil each time. Do change at 12,500 ks and let dealer do the 25,000 k service. I reset the service log each change.

I only get a filter change when the dealer does the job , as the dirtier the filter the better it filters.

Bails, can you recommend a vacuum pump. My McNaught has failed.

I second the pump option for dropping the oil. More convenient, faster and less mess.

I've been looking at this one, but have issues with the freight cost and it isn't on prime.....

So it needs compressed air and a place to empty mid job? ( wont hold 9 litres)



Everyone has bought the "special" tool required to remove the cartidge?


Anyone use something other than the Castrol 5/30 ?

Don't use a vacuum pump, simple rotary pump on drill works, you need to prime to start. Aldi have these on sale next weekend $12.00 I think.

I have a hand suction pump I use to prime. Synthetic Oil is thin when cold so no need to heat engine up.

Re the oil filter remover I bought one of these: https://www.repco.com.au/en/tools-eq...0filter%20tool
and I used Penrite oil instead of Castrol. ENVIRO+ 5W-20 (FULL SYN.) | Penrite Oil
The sump capacity is 8 litres including oil filter
