Oil change and no oil leaks on my engine cowl. Woohoo. Changing the oil on the 1.8 - jimrobertson 2017-01-22 21:35:01 (298 views)
- oil extractor + change filter from above = easy. - ModifiedA4 2017-01-28 09:38:10 (192 views)
- Agreed! But now I use a Fumoto valve these days...makes the job easy... - JunkerAvant 2017-01-23 08:17:22 (275 views)
  - Amateur hour. Oil extractor is the way to do it. I can and have changed my oil in work clothes. - Nate 2017-01-23 08:52:31 (248 views)
    - What about the filter? - rookie18 2017-01-23 08:59:15 (221 views)
      - Always did on my B5. On the B8, the filter is top and center on the engine, never makes a mess.   -  Nate  2017-01-23 09:10:50 (194 views)
        
        Good to know  -  rookie18  2017-01-23 09:15:20 (197 views)
        
        Filter is the messy part. Even with a bag or flexible container underneath. Anyone  -  jimrobertson  2017-01-23 09:57:32 (208 views)
        
        The filter on my m20 engine in my e30 is in the exact location and angle..so nothing new here for me  -  SFexBOY  2017-01-23 21:48:38 (334 views)
        
        I hated the lifting of a brand new filter full of fresh oil and not dropping it part.   -  Nate  2017-01-23 11:32:36 (275 views)

        WHOA! NO WAI! I never thought of that in ELEVEN YEARS of owning my B5. WHOA!!!!!1!!11!!!!   -  Nate  2017-01-23 19:02:58 (183 views)

        I remove the tank but oil still spills down the side of the engine block when you undo  -  jimrobertson  2017-01-23 19:36:29 (218 views)
        
        I always moved the catch pan under the subframe to keep the floor clean when I dropped the filter.   -  Nate  2017-01-23 19:59:54 (171 views)
        
        You do that in your work cloths too?  -  rookie18  2017-01-24 11:37:22 (179 views)
