I’m still washing diesel out of my eyes…
Will you be looking to sell the giverny green Range Rover? If so do you have a email to reach you on so I can enquire further about it please.

Awesome job Joel and cheers for the shout-out. You're not a true Land Rover enthusiast until you've had at least 3 types of oils squirted into your eyeballs though! 🤣👍
Hi Joel, small tip remember to lube that o ring when you fit it on your oil filter it helps it seat better when you re assemble and when you use that wrench to tighten back hold the wrench by the ratchet and hand tighten, not finger tighten and don’t tighten by holding the end of the ratchet because it is easy to break the o ring. I bought a Z4 because of you and it gives me many hours of pleasure, so thank you. I just want to share the knowledge. I enjoy watching your knowledge of cars grow over the years since you started. I really liked your buying trip with your dad. You had so many good points to share with him, all learned from the countless purchases you have made. Naturally there are many other ways to do things, including a proper torque wrench. I just want to help you be fail safe like you did with your dad.
There are so many innuendos in your message to exploit, but I won’t.. 😁
@@davidhammond3738 😂😂😂😂😂
A good important point about that O ring. 👍
You will get a much better oil change result by warming the car up and then draining oil via the sump plug.
That way you remove the sediment from the oil pan.
Also, you have a better read of any engine fragments no matter how small
"Got diesel in my fucking eye" best intro to a car video ever 😂😂😂😂😂
I love that your wearing a formal watch
Well done Joel nice to see young people doing simple service jobs 10/10 👍
I love this type of videos of you working to your vehicles from home! Keep it up!
I just love this so much Joel. Fills me with confidence and reassurance to see amateurs like us having a go. More of this please!
Really really great work Joel and massive respect for diving into the deep end despite being a beginner! Sam's channel is pretty epic indeed
As an apprentice mechanic. You did great Joel. 3 years ago I knew nothing about cars. It’s all one big learning curve. Sometimes little things can catch you out. But you won’t make the same mistake again!
Nice to see the posh old boy serving a car, class content!
Hi Joel, well done for having a go yourself. You will find it very satisfying and save money at the same time. The more you work on your own car your confidence will grow. I’m am sure more of your subscribers will now try the basics on their own vehicles. Great videos mate keep them coming and Stay safe!👍
Diesel oil turns black very quickly, that’s completely normal. Good work Joel! 👍
true, if i ever get my diesel car service at a garage, and go to check the oil level after, obviously its black, I almost get skeptical like did they even change it lol
Good on you for doing it yourself, Joel. Save you a ton of cash too, and you know it's actually all been done.
Ian Bodsy is brilliant and gearbox so quiet used him after Ben had his car done, mine is V8 L405. Well done on your service👍
Bit of advice Joel next time remember to remove the Rolex from your wrist before starting engine work 👍🏻
Hi Joel. Another interesting video. I also use the vacuum extractor for the engine, transmission, transfer case and p/steering. The 2011 RRS has a dedicated extractor tube to attach the vacuum hose, like some other models. Afterwards, I removed the drain plug to see how much was left in the sump and it was about an egg cup full. No swarf on the magnet or in the oil but was as black as!
I replaced the transmission pan and filter with a steel service kit, rather than a 'full' so called flush and used the ZF6 fluid. I also dropped the mechatronic valve block to replace all the seals. I'm glad I did. The bridge seal fell apart when I lowered the block and the tubes had shrunk. I saved my self big dollars doing it myself. Well must be off. Have fun and look after yourself and Katie. Cheers, Chris. OZ. 🙃
Typical England, nobody keeps a car in their garage and it is always full of toot. New builds also advertise "a garage", when in reality a modern car won't fit!
Anything DIY on a car is daunting and easy to keep putting off, however it is very satisfying when you complete it. Well done for attempting and I can see you servicing/repairing other cars now. If the car does not have one I like to buy a magnetic sump plug. Next service you can see if there are any metal filings, which would need investigating/ early warning?
Advanced Factors are one of the best companies around. Service and delivery are impeccable 👍🙏
100% behind you in getting the trans and diff oils and filters changed.
Money well spent in the long run,and some decent content for you and the guy doing it 👍
Between yourself, HPA and SMAM, you’ve all pretty much convinced me that my next motor is gonna be a RR! 🤣
I’m similar age to you and also have a Range Rover I had a 2003 4.4 and sold it and bought a 2005 3.0 diesel every time I see a Range Rover video of yours I just have to watch it ! Can’t wait for the next one !
Well done Joel, it’s satisfying to do vehicle servicing yourself and has the added bonus of saving money.
Yesss! My man.. I remember hounding you a while ago to get into DIY yourself.. I was only thinking about it the other.
I'm so glad you have decided to take the plunge!
Good luck with it all!
I like the way you checked for oil leaking underneath....."nope not a drop" ...that's cus the undertray is collecting it 🤣.
Great effort....best way to learn is to get stuck in.
Great video Joel and I'm glad you've had a go at servicing one of your cars.
Well done on having a go ,it's a learning curve and you did well and will get confidence for the next job.
It's great to see someone who clearly hasn't a clue give a home service a shot
Well done you did it! And in pink marigolds😁
Your videos are getting better and better. Keep up the entertainment! Cheers
Great video, I'm generally shocked you have never done this before on any of your cars.
He's never got his girl hands dirty in his life hasn't a clue regarding car repairs!
Top man Joel. Fair play and you’ve saved a fortune 👍👍👍
Nice one Joel. Really enjoyed this type of video!
Only thing I’d recommend next time is use your fingertip to apply a film of oil on the rubber o-ring of the oil filter and fuel filter. This will make it easier to remove them on the next service. Also don’t tighten the oil filter with a tool, as hard has you can hand tight will be enough. The reason for the above is where the engine will warm and cool through being used everything will naturally tighten anyway.
With regards to the fuel economy, the new fuel filter will be letting more fuel flow through by nature of being new and not partially blocked up with old fuel. Yes the fuel economy may be slightly down but in theory engine power should be up. If you are still in doubt remove the fuel filter again and make sure it is fitted in the correct way around, on a lot of fuel filters they have metal tabs showing they can only be fitted one way.
Great job Joel! Especially if you have done the first time, respect! 👍
Nice video, thanks sharing. You did well, taking advice from Sam. That guy is aces. The only change I might suggest is whenever possible, be sure to use genuine Land Rover parts. You might save some money with other parts, but you can’t be sure of the quality. Excellent work!
Mahle are top brand
Enjoyed this video Joel. Glad seeing you giving your Rangey plenty of TLC. They’re awesome 👌👏
Good video, nice to see you pushing yourself and making content of you working on it, rather than taking it somewhere.
Bit of advice. Use a pick next time you take a rubber o-ring off. Will do less potential damage than a screwdriver. And maybe take the sump off on your next service, clean the crusty deposits and the oil pick up pipe. Will prolong the life of your turbo/ engine by preventing oil starvation 😊👍
Yeah Sam has a lot to answer for, reason I bought a TDV8 Range Rover
The only thing I would suggest is to drain the oil properly as this will remove all the crap at the bottom of the sump. Sucking the stuff out is just a waste of time and money and was encouraged by the manufacturers as a way of getting more money out of customers by taking cars to dealers every year instead of every two years. The dealers will in fact drain and not suck the oil every other service interval ie two years on the A service. Best practice to maintain the life of the engine and its components is to drain it every year. 👍🏻😎
I wouldn’t recommend using a pump to extract the oil. Much better to drain with from the sump👍🏻
Mahle / Mann make the best filters though!
That's how landrover do it at the dealer.
@@fastasfox Technicians will do a lot of things at the dealership. I still wouldn't recommend it though!
Well done Joel. You will learn from your mistakes...another good video...
Good on you Joel. Oil changes is one thing I really enjoy doing on my cars.
Fantastic to see you taking on these jobs, hope you make more videos like this, doing these bits yourself is SO satisfying. I can also recommend a little step to stand on for working on Range Rovers 😂
Flush the PAS too. Most have never been done. Some folks have used that vacuum pump you have.
Diesel oil goes black very quickly as the soot particles get from the combustion chamber into the oil very quickly. It’s normal for Diesel engine oily to be black
Totally right. More worrying if it is thick and sludgy. Being black isn't a problem or unusual in a diesel engine.
Congratulations on the engagement matey
Well done ! More brave than me. Working on my own L322 absolutely terrifies me. I’ll end up messing something up. Rather give it o my specialist and pay him to do it properly. I am rubbish at that sort of thing.
Well done Joel, great video.
great idea using a pump to get the oil out leaving all the shite still in the bottom of the sump ,I love watching range rover videos makes me feel so lucky owning a Toyota
Nice one! Makes me think I should start servicing my car myself too! My sister actually changed from the garage she had been going to for years for servicing her car only to be told by the new garage that the filters and oil had likely never been changed!
I honestly would, you always have piece of mind that everything has been done and it's honestly not that difficult.
Highway robbery
Stick a bottle of Wynns injector cleaner through it, best £6 you’ll spend.
Give it another oil change in a couple thousand miles or so to give it a good flush as it’s been a while. Half that 15k interval as well if you want to keep it at its best
Everyone should do a service on their own at some time. It helps you to learn that the oil change at a garage is good value and less messy.
Talk about diving at the deep end Joel 😉 KUDOS to you for having your first go at self servicing on a TDV8 RR. 👍 For what it's worth it may be a good idea to start changing the engine oil & filter on a more frequent intervals than those recommended by RR. I'd say no more than 10K miles or 12 months between oil & filter changes, whichever happens sooner.
Now see if you can get Matt TO do his RR
👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Tip for next time if you do it with the oil filter put it in first and locate it properly then put the housing back.on after seen many times that filters not being located properly on these
I think I will contact my local dealer to ask if they alternate draining from the sump on every other oil change. I was under the impression that they always did the suction transfer method. Seems to me that the filter should be catching the crap and not give it a chance to settle at the bottom of the pan. I think you do want to let the engine run for a little bit and drain or suck the oil out while it is warm.
You know the UA-cam channel is progressing well when you have a spare Range Rover as a run about so you don’t mess up your Porsche.
Excellent, thanks for doing this. My random questions and comments of the day:
Do you know if the gearbox fluid has ever been changed before? If it hasn’t, any concerns about changing the fluid on a vehicle with 130k miles on it? I’ve heard the slipperiness of the new fluid can cause issues….
I make it a part of my service to clean the MAF sensors whenever I change the air filter.
And finally, how do you dispose of the old oil? Can you take that container to a recycling center and drain it somewhere?
Hi found your video interesting.....its often easy for us professional mechanic.s to forgot we all had to start somewhere...just few we points ...diesel engine... the fresh oil will go black almost instantly...and fresh oil will not make engine run better...even no its probably most important thing you can do ..to any engine...its also worth running a oil flush in engine let it tickover for 15mins that will breakdown any crude thats inside engine also if your got a sump plug always drain oil from sump you will never ever get all the old oil out with that pump..you probably left around 1/2 litre of old oil inside sump ...and always refill with dip stick removed... new fuel filter will definitely allow engine to run better but will not increase economy because its electric fuel pump and injection system controlled by ecu so engine will always take correct amount of diesel unless filters blocked and its restricted the fuel flow ..(engine will run shit and be underpowered) same as new air filter...lastly I'll say this you will not catch any dealer's or good independent workshop's use Granville oil...its a budget oil hence reason its so cheap ..yes it mite match correct spec but that's about all it can do other brands match or exceed correct spec...it used to be cleaned recycled oil few year's ago but I believe its no made in India..
Well done. Like the honest video also mentioning the mistake you made. Nothing wrong with that.
Great to see you getting hands on Joel good content. Ive had experience with the gearboxes on these I had one displaying the fail trans mode and chucking itself in limp mode. I changed the gearbox fluid on filter and put an additive in called Lucas at the time the car had done 148k its now on 204k and still going issue free
When I saw this I thought this cost of living crisis had gone way further than any of us had imagined. Joel, fair play for having a bash..
Nice video Joel
Good video for a novice. But as said make sure you lube the o-ring next time with some of the new oil. Personally myself I wouldn’t use that oil extractor as it never gets all the oil out and it’s messy then draining it from the sump bolt. Also another tip on Diesel engines when filling with oil never fill it to the max. Fill it so it’s between half and full as oil on diesels expands a lot and can actually fail MOT emissions test
Great content Joel. I might be wrong but usually when I would change the fuel filter for my car I would firdt prime the new filter with fuel before I insert it. I'm not sure if this is still applicable nowadays.
Good content. Do more servicing on your other cars, you will save a fortune and become more confident
I love car maintenance videos and I DIY maintenance on my cars all the time.
I still believe in draining the oil via the Sump plug and always apply a bit of oil on the oil filter ring.
love working on cars.
You've already got this Range Rover up for Sale Joel ???? Why so fast ?.
A very informative and interesting video. Thanks for sharing
Don't hold the new oil container vertically, the weight of oil above the spout will cause oil to blurt blurt all over. Hold the container horizontally. Don't ask how I know this.
You’ve had loads of cars and you’ve never serviced one yourself? What are you playing at?
I 100% wish I’d have bought one of them oil pumps when I first started servicing my own cars. I keep saying I’m going to get a new car and take it to the dealers but never do. I’d have saved myself a load of hassle by buying one
very handy. I have a 12v oil vaccum pump which hooks up to a car battery. however the advantage of this manual pump is it comes with its own container whereas the electric one requires you finding a container to fill up with old oil
Love this kind of videos!!
The worst way to change the oil in the 3.6. It has 2 sump plugs for a reason- by not completely draining the sump which has 2 levels, you are leaving a small reserve of crudy oil right next to the turbo oil feed. This means the turbo will eventually suffer from oil starvation as it becomes blocked with this shit , will go bang and you'll be wetting yourself when you see how much it costs to replace turbo on this vehicle.
I was just going off the official workshop manual.
The dipstick goes to the bottom of the sump...if the hose bottoms out...your at the bottom. Taking the sump plugs out is no more effective when draining and JL suck it out. You get zero more crud out through the drain plug and you would have to drop the oil pan and clean it to guarantee zero crud.....if he keeps servicing it like this then he will be fine...10/12,000 miles....golden.
@@fastasfox I have always wondered about how low the tube goes. Would be good to see using a bore scope at some stage. Assuming you can feel when the pump tube has reached the bottom of the sump? Is it easy to take off the sump pan?
Nice video Joel, I’d of given up after the initial filter issue!
Solid video, did you end up putting any grease/oil on the oil filter o-ring(on the end of the paper element filter, the little bung) or the filter big o-ring? makes life easier in the future, but sweet to see you attempt it
:)
I didn’t, will this actually effect anything with the car ?
@@itsjoel unlikely, some people like to just to ensure a good seal
@@itsjoel as Ollie says above it’s a good seal, also means it will tighten up and not grab and tear, had that happen when I first started working😖 It also makes future maintenance a lot easier as the o-rings won’t get tight. With the oil filter being situated on the top it’s prone to a lot more heat so it also helps the rubber just live a bit longer.
It’s a real nit picky thing but it’s good practice to do, tend to grease all oil filter o rings and diesel filter o rings.
A good saying to live by is if it moves or needs to move, grease it. If not paint it.
Hope it helps!
Next time put the bonnet in service mode; easier to inspect everything.
I did do this, but there wasn’t enough clearance where I was working
@@itsjoel Ah! Thorough!
Surely it's quicker & easier to just flick the sump plug out than pump it out the top?
Brave and well done
Thought you would have read the book " Range Rover filters and gaskets for Dummies " I heard it's quite a good read !
Should really use a torque wrench on that oil cap - suggested is 18Nm. The threads are plastic and over tightening it can potential strip the threads.
Like all diesels that oil will be as black as the one you took out within a week
more like 10 miles
Precisely
Lovely job 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍
I wouldn't expect better mpg unless your fuel filter was really clogged, and if it was you'd probably have other symptoms. Doubt you've done anything wrong :)
Have you tried again to get better fuel also did you sell your red Mercedes-Benz convertible
Get Bodsy to blank the EGRs and remap it when he’s with you. Say hi from me 😎👍
He is doing that indeed 😊
@@itsjoel Brilliant. He’s a great guy. Loves a bacon sarnie and coffee 😉😉
thank you
Don't suck out the oil, it leaves all the rubbish at the bottom of the sump. I'd also take your watch off.
When working on a car, even if the engine is running, always have a window open just in case the car decides to lock itself with the keys inside
Next time, drain hot engine oil from the sump to allow particulates and sludge to drain out, and replace with a new washer.
Love your posts and you have a fit wife , doing well eh😂
Yeah i also have him booked for same in May, again Sam’s fault 😂
never suck oil out, leaves crap behind
And now it’s up for sale on eBay 🧐
Lol the pink gloves
just changed the oil on my peugot 508 using an electric pump from amazon, you just push the pipe down the dip stick hole and job done.saves loads of time and not getting messy.
4 years last oil change I would used a oil flush first
Time for a trans filyer change and a fluid flush,
