I have been asked for a simple guide to follow when doing an oil and filter change on a 4.4 tdV8 using a syphon pump.

in words....

Warm engine up to thin the oil for a few minutes.
Open bonnet and remove black engine cover.
Remove oil filler cap.
Remove Black plastic cap from suction tube.
Loosen the oil filter housing by a couple of turns (36mm) socket, but do not remove at this stage.
Connect suction pump to tube.
A couple of pumps and you will see dirty old oil starting to syphon out of engine and into tank.
Remove oil filter, being careful to catch any drips.
Watch tank filling to approx 9.5 litres of old dirty oil.
Wipe out and clean filter housing.
Remove old filter from plastic cover/ bowl and clean.
Remove old rubber sealing ring from filter bowl
Lightly oil new rubber sealing ring and replace as per original.
Insert new filter in housing bowl/cover.
When all old oil has finished draining, re- fit filter and tighten to 27 nm torque.
Remove tank suction pipe from engine tube and replace cap.
Pour in 5 litres of new oil, then add 3 more measured litres.
Allow time for new oil to settle then start engine and check to ensure no leaks around filter bowl.
Stop engine and check oil level on dash display... it may be necessary to reset if it says Not Available, using a double click on the cruise control reset switch.
Top up as required by adding 0.25 litre of new oil.
Empty old oil from tank by pouring into empty 5litre containers.
Re check engine oil level on gauge, wait then top up 0.25 litre if required.
Replace black engine cover.
Reset the service indicator if you have an iid .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
