I can't believe how much oil costs! I've not bought any for a long time.....

I use a washing up bowl that I keep in the garage, then pour it into a can but with the td4 you will not get it all in, unless you engine is short of oil, I then have a second can which I pour the rest in and keep that can for further oil changes, then take them down to the council yard .
I've just bought some from Halfords £12 for 4 litres including full synthetic so I got 10/40 full synthetic 2x4l £24 and plenty lft for topups.

From memory I think it's 36 mm, if not it's 32mm
But its the same spec as the stuff i bought last year from somewhere else and I'm not prejudice
Good old inch n a half AF will do it ! Mini (proper mini, not BMW) crankshaft bolt size !!

I think it is 36mm. Being gentle with all I had, a 38mm did the trick.
So
Oil & genuine filter done. The old filter was shorter but had some form of spacers at the end. The genuine one was just full length. Once I realised the spacers were to be removed, I just pushed the new filter down and it fitted fine. At first I thought I had a wrong 'un as it wouldn't fit
Air filter now done and turbo vent filter.
Rest for tomorrow.

Hi
Bought a crankcase filter, the bmw one, for our 0554 td4 freelander 1, asked our garage to fit. They told us it could not be fitted as wrong part. Too big, would interfere with air filter. Is this right? Where can I get a step by step instruction guide for installation of the filter?
