Changing the oil
Переглядів 6082 роки тому
This is how to change the oil without changing the filter. It is a cut down from the original oil and filter video but is obviously much shorter as it doesn't include the sequence about the filter. Without a filter change you'll need 4.5 litres of oil or 8 pints to refill.

Radiator shroud zip
Переглядів 4442 роки тому
