1st OIL cahnge.

[rustydiver]

Done my 1st oil change on the van today
May only be a small step for some, but for me its a big step for mankind.

Dont know what i was worried about it went straight foward.

Havnt gone for a drive yet, tomorrow will tell if its all ok. Started it up and it didnt blow oil all over the drive.

Seems very rewarding to see that black crappie oil coming out and putting new in.

Only a few more minor checks and its off to Cornwall next week

If you are doing the gearbox oil, do make sure that the fill plug is free before you drain the oil.
