Hello all
I've recently purchased a 1990 SSR 2.4TD manual (72k km on clock). Judging by the fact it came with no history and a previous owner who probably couldnt find a dipstick or sum plug if you brained him with 'em, I'm playing safe and changing the oil immediately and need some advice.
Have sourced a filter and oil, few responses needed:
- Exactly what quantity of oil does the engine/filter change take (seen a few different figures banded about here from 4.5 to 7 litres)
- Any special trick required for getting the filter off, looks pretty well tuked in there on the engine offside (apart from being able to dislocate elbow and wrist).
I've already flushed out and changed the coolant as a precaution, any other 'big item' checks or changes need??
Thanks in advance
