Hi all changing the oil and filteron my classic i know you need to fill the filter up 1st etc but someone mentioned to me about removing the crank sensor and turning it over to build up pressure ive not heard this before is he right ive always done it without removing it???

 

to be safe you should though its not a nessecity. dont remove the crank sensor just disconnect it

 

Yes do both

 

ok guys cheers for the input is that the sensor by the alternator?

 

I did mine Sunday n the previous 5 times, never disconnected the crank sensor, just drained, pre-filled the new filter, refitted n refilled with new oil, no problems what so ever but that's just me

 

As above.

 

for the past 4 years i have been servicing my type r and always disconnected the crank sensor no need to take the sensor out, crank the car while the sensor is disconnected until the oil pressure build uo then connect it back on and crank it.

 

Or keep the accelerator on the floorboards and crank, something about flood clearing stops the injectors......so I've heard.
