Oil change (K9K engine)
well...my understanding of it...
....yet again...I supervised, but I got as many photo's as I could..and tried to pay attention
....go for a little drive, warm up the engine, and thus oil, to imporove it's flow/viscosity so it'll dribble out nicely
release bonnet...lift bonnet...prop up bonnet ^_^
engine bay...
Remove plastic engine cover...
it's firmly in place but with a good ol' tug should come away nicely

Jack up car....both sides...at the front, obviously...place on axle stands for extra safety....
![]()
take off the under car shield ...3 bolts along the front edge (by the bumper), 2 bolts towards the rear
...mine is also held by a cable tie either side.... as at higher speeds it used to make a funny noise as it was flapping about LOL
locate the sump plug...Make sure you have something under it to catch the old oil too...and take off the oil filler cap while you're at it...
....I'm waiting for someone to....comment.... about this photo LOL
once your oil has all drained out, locate and remove the old filter...it's...awkward on this engine, to say the least
...it's almost upside down, and between the air intakes (or whatever the pipes are there)
we removed it with one of those baby boa things (for opening jars)
...others, I'm aware, have resorted to the "screwdriver" method...AKA stab it to death 'til it un-bloody-screws method
...it's under there... lol
When you start to put it all back together, don't just put the old sump plug back in...first...replace the copper (often plastic/nylon) washer for a nice new one
...this will get squished when you put the plug back in...
also remove old tape from the thread of the plug and replace with a new length...wrap it anti-clockwise (as you'll screw it in clockwise) so it doesn't unravel when put in the sump.
also...before putting in the shiny new filter...pour a little new oil into the filter itself....swirl it around and make sure the rubber seal gets little over it too...be carfull when placing it into position as it will drip on you
once the sump plug is replaced and tight and the filter the same...you can start putting in the fresh oil
...we just used some bog standard, bargain stuff, from Asda, that was on offer, this year...£10 for 5 litres...

don't fill it all the way up straight away...let it settle a bit first, and check for any leaks (which would be bad)
Check your level....lower the car back to ground level...then top up a bit more, check your levels again.

obviously now you can put your oil cap and engine cover back on...
it may take a couple of days to settle proper...so after you've driven a couple of times check your level again, and top up if need be
....I've possibly missed something, but that's what I recall my engineer doing
Edit: Please remember to dispose of your used engine oil responsibly (at local council recycling centres etc)
My dad has got axle stands a plenty...only seen them used maybe twice, both times on a neighbours car
...He's a nightmare ^_^
What do you mean?what about a smoothed front like jordans?
Thank you, but...ummmm Yeah...you haven't seen it close up! Lolcongratulations on your car! looks really good!
really impressed with your spraying! i've attempted once.. and vowed to never again try!
Body kit looked goodadds a more aggressive face to me
Body kit looks good jen, looks like it needs to be done now eh
^^^^ Eeeegads....well I guess st least you can't tell how bad mine is in photos...and mine's smooth
Could be worse though, it could be a ford k... never mind
I have sen worse than that though, still a fair attempt
...besides metallic colours are far trickier to match than my solid white ^_^
They're not painted.... they're wrapped in vinyl.Tis why a lot of rally cars are white![]()
Well, that's why I think a lot are white anyway.
They're not painted.... they're wrapped in vinyl.
Saves 5kg![]()
But 5kgSod off Mr Pedantic

I've cleaned the new wheels *nods enthusiastically* (£104 for a set of 4 off Ebay last week....if you missed it in WDIDT? thread)I was expecting painted wheels and lows then! Get my hopes up jen!![]()
I do want the Note wheels...But I'd ideally need at least 5Think they need painting
Look good tho got yourself a bargain
I thought you wanted the Note wheels?
Yeah, but my baby's a little younger than yoursPffft 81085 barely broken in! Mines 131,655! I win!
And near as damn 70 mpg im lucky if I get 35 ha.
One can never have too many wheelsI do want the Note wheels...But I'd ideally need at least 5
...looks a bit dodgy if you need to use a spare and it's Completely different to the rest <_<
...another reason I hate space saver spare wheels...*Shudders*
...anyway, they're still stupidly expensive....and I now have 12 of these wheels so I'm kind of outta space too![]()
....according to my mother one can *facepalm*One can never have too many wheels![]()
And yet mine is classed as low mileage for age!Yeah, but my baby's a little younger than yours![]()
