Oil has to cool from 90-ish degrees down to between 45-50

I had a drain, fill, new filter and sump yesterday as it happens as a hopefully proactive and preventative measure on my 5.0 S/C, while my truck was in with Brownchurch for it's MOT!

I did mine a month or so back, pretty easy, got a pan off AUTODOC (something like £65 for a ZF one) and £19/l for gen ZF oil from my tyres.co.uk so cheaper DIY with gen stuff works out at about £190👍🏻 There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

How much oil gets changed when the pan is dropped? I recently only collected 3L by draining the pan but intend replacing the pan c/w filter next time. |

I've searched all the threads and expect to drop 5 litres removing the pan.

Expect about 5 litres, plan to get 6/7 so you have enough to put back in. I think where folks hanvent had that much out the thermostat must have been shut. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Your only draining the sump, not the pipework too

I think my local specialist charges £260 all in for a mega flush - is that a good price? |

With decent oil? With a Megaflush machine? Then yes 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory" New Defender D300 90 on order so "Rory" will be going to a new home....! 1974 Series 3 Lightweight = "Millie" My preferred specialist: www.glenrands.co.uk -------------------------------------------------- |
