Oil change

[newSkyLimit]

hello all

I know there are a few skyline owners in the mid-south of england. I'm in salisbury and need the oil changing. Anyone know of anywhere nearby?

[Deggers]

Any competent garage can do an oil change on a Skyline mate, piece of cake.. If I can do it anyone can!

Dont skimp on cheapy oil though.

I do mine myself it doesn't take long and i am not all that good with cars.

As said above make sure and buy decent oil

[riciskeisis]

just look under the cars engine,there is bolt. take it off,of course put the tray first for old oil,and then let the oil run till it's gone,then change oil filter,and put bolt in the place. open the hood and u will find the place where to put new oil in. as far as i can remember,you will need nearly 5 litres oil. just put oil in and check oil meter. job done

14mm IIRC.

Buy a draining pan from Halfords for about 12 squids..

so i'll have to source a decent oil filter then.. sounds easy!

surely i can use on old washing up bowl or something?

[riciskeisis]

yes,for an old oil you can use any bowl.. good luck

[Moff]

Long as it holds 5 litres and is slim enough to slide under the car..

[newSkyLimit]

right so any ideas where to source the oil, cheapest price obv ?

[vagueman]

I get mine from opie Oils, a trader here.
Opie Oils - Skyline Owners Club - The Nissan Skyline Enthusiast Community

They're always quick with delivery and very good on price. A wide choice of oils too.
I think they do filters too now.

[vagueman]

And by the way the filter is horizontal so when you unscrew it it'll dump a cupful of oil out. I put an old towel below it before uncrewing it, saves having to clean up the mess afterwards .

Not good for the towel though !

[riciskeisis]

my advise would be,don't try to save some money on oil.. get the best..

[newSkyLimit]

thanks all for your comments and help much apreciated! i shall get the oil and filter and hopefully do the change this weekend, i'll let you all know how it goes!
