Hello

As the wiki on how to do a 4.4 oil change is sub optimal without photos and other info, can anyone help with:
Size socket to remove oil filter....I think it is 32 mm
And torque settings for both oil sump plugs
Please?

Thanks

4.4 td v8 oil filter is 36mm, not 32. Torque setting is moulded in top.
I have never used the sump drain plugs, choosing to always suck it out.

^^^^
same here, but I drain small pocket (red arrow) which is turbo oil pickup every 3d oil change. it is size 13mm and I tighten it by feel.

Thanks chaps. Maybe a pump is the way to go.
Any pump recommendations?
Would still like the drain plug torque settings if anyone knows them?

My suction pump is a Draper Professional from Machine Mart.
I don’t have access to a compressor, so have always just used it with the integral handpump.
I comes complete with a selection of tubes for connection to various cars, but for the 4.4 tdV8 you only need use the basic tube which is fitted. Just make sure any pump you buy has a minimum tank capacity of 10 litres.
I highly recommend the Draper for ease of use. Just warm the oil for ten minutes before you start and it sucks it all out in a few minutes, absolutely no mess.

Hope this helps






and you don't need the sun behind the suction pump to see the level, do you Mike?  Cheers
