Just changed the oil on my car
Just changed the oil on my car
Its too small a space to work in.
cared:Am cut and scratched. Managed to do it, but was cleaning my blood off my tools when I had finished! LOL!
hock:So will leave that job to a garage next time, is shocking how little room there is to get to the oil filter! Unless I buy the proper tool anyway.
While I was there, I fitted two more silicone hoses, so thats coolent and power stearing done.

Just got two left for brakes lines at back of engine bay, going to get these done when I get some braded hoses. :w00t:
Busy day!
And in a word, unless you have a tool for the oil filter, DONT! LOL!

It is a tight gap on my IS300 too but put it on a ramp and had to go between the steering arms and into the bay but undid it by hand, nice only hand tight up so should be the same next time!!

. It's a lot easier and quicker than you might think though.Follow Bandit's tip and get some Tyre Dandy tyre foam (you can look for it on eBay). Warm the engine up a bit, then turn it off and spray the foam onto the metal, plastic and rubber etc. Leave it for a few minutes and then wipe it off. You'll be amazed at the difference !
This is just for a quick job, obviously you can spend more time and effort on it and it'll be even better :biggrin:

Lexus IS200 Sport Navigator (Now being stripped again) :blink:
Now Don't Forget The REP!!!
Good job done mate, i find if you go under the car from the passenger side, you can get a good grip of the filter, still tight and does help if you have long arms and big hands :laugh: Drop your engine bay round mate and i'll give it a clean for you :thumbup1:

Yep thats what i did. Took me a while to find it lol as I only had Ormis guide which showed through wheel arch. And yeah I have long arms and big hands so that'll be why it was easier for me than some.
Was Supercharged Racing Green IS200 Sport. Now APR Stage 1 Seat Leon Cupra (220 Bhp).

dimis "Just got two left for brakes lines at back of engine bay, going to get these done when I get some braded hoses."
The two that you have left are the heating pipes and not the brake lines mate. :wink:
Ahh! So thats what they are for! Thought they were brake lines! LOL!
Just want to add a quick thank you to WidnessIS, for his old interior!
Top bloke! Will get picks up when I have done the swap, and the heating pipes! :blushing:
