December 2018: Much to my surprise I've only done 4,800km's in my car in the last 13 months meaning that it's been that long since I've done my last service. So fairly overdue. I've found out my oil filter has actually been leaking, which has been flicking oil onto the drivers side header. Anyway, popped the car up on stands.
Drip, drip.
Draining out.
Quick clean of the plug with a new washer.
Genuine is best.
New filter on.
Plug on and oil in. The usual Penrite 10w-50
While the car was running a little low from the leak I've always been pretty good at keeping it topped up anyway. Hopefully no damage. The oil that came out looked ok.
I've got to be honest, lately I've been pretty non interested in the car. I haven't felt the way I've felt for it in the past. It's pretty likely 2019 will be my last year with it. I've learned a lot and enjoyed it but it's never felt like a forever car.
However, there is a very big round of things ready to happen to the car, I've just been gathering parts for the last 6 months, but after that the big mods anyway will likely stop, or maybe they won't, time will tell. So this is what's now waiting to go on the car.
