|
|
Hi all, about to embark on my first oil and filter change on my 3.0 Trooper - is it as straight forward as an oil change in any other car or are there any tricks or tips? Do you need to fill the filters before fitting? Is the fuel filter change an easy job too? Also does anyone have an illustration showing where/how to get at the filters?
Thanks for any help! |
