I made all the mistake when given my car in to get the oil changed, and found out you need to do certain things

You need to fill the oil filter up with oil iv been told before it goes on to the engine so air doesnt get in.

Should take about 4 Litres - 4.5litres, you may need to double check that

apply a little oil onto the rubber seal of the filter - apparently so it doesnt get stuck or is easier to get off next time ... i could be wrong

Swift C,

can I respectfully suggest the 'Search' button and the key phrases 'oil change' or 'oil change procedure'? This will net you 100 threads of info, mostly from P.S.Lewis, and some other useful ones. Dependant upon your personal paranoia levels you can either believe PSL or reference http://www.surreyscoobies.co.uk/modu...viewtopic&t=15

The choice is yours!
