Hi Guys,
This is a pretty nooby question but how many liters of engine oil is required to service a FD1 (I'm changing engine oils)?
If anyone knows how much brake fluid is required for servicing, that would be great too :D
Thanks guys, there were threads/posts about the types of fluids to use but never covered the quantity.
i think arround 3.7L engine oil for FD1 without changing oil filter. if u change the filter, should be little be more.

Grab and twist =]
If worse come to worse, use a cloth and clamp it, so you can twist it

is anyone using an aftermarket oil filter here?
just bought myself a hamp oil filter, havent installed in yet... think its best to do an oil change then install the oil filter?
