Default Re: First DIY oil change (Or, You could have picked a better spot)

You know to reset the oil service indicator - shut the doors, press brake and accelerator together to max, turn ignition on and follow messages...

Having done 21 oil changes on the Mondeos I now start by unscrewing the filter housing until I see the oil film start to move or bubble, then let sit for 10 minutes or so while I get prepared, jack the car up etc.

The last few changes I used a fuel conserving oil and consumption has fallen by a few percent, as advertised.

Re the fuel filter - I've done six filter changes and never opened the drain for water inbetween. There's an electronic water sensor in the filter housing.

Cheers
