I've changed the oil in mine every 7,500 klm's, done it myself from new and I've used the original sump plug since day one.
I just changed the oil on the weekend before last actually. Just don't over do them, they have a washer under them, they don't need to be done up extra tight. |

Well, you take it to a dealership just once........ they must have done it up with a rattle gun, it was that tight.

This was not the case for my AU Windsor. The sump plug was 1/2", not 12mm
Moroso 97001 (Nylon washer) or 97002 (copper washer) fit my car. I'd only use a copper washer on a cast alloy finish so I recommend the 97001. $20 on eBay. It comes with a smaller, 3/4" hex head. |
