just changed the oil in my s2000 for the first time
have to say its a great car to work with. oil bucket sitting under the sump plug also seems to be in the perfect position for the drain off from the oil filter.
everything is easy to access and easy to do. ! love working on a car which has had everything thought of and placed somewhere for a reason.
Yeah ahhh, wait till you do a clutch job. ;)
Or thermostat.
thermostat ill touch. clutch can go to the pros.
wow that thermostat looks like a bitch to get to.!
Yer, shitty design. Should be up the top.
How much litres of oil should I b pouring using feo 10w30 and is it necessary to fill the oil filter half way?
Any help would b great. Cheers
nah, would be very hard to do. you will be pouring it all out when your screwing it back onto the block anyway.
my car took a bit over 4.2 L i think
It may be personal preference but I fill the filter half way - the filtration medium inside the filter absorbs a lot of the oil that you pour in which stops it from pouring out when you screw it onto the block.Quote:

as soon as you start the engine it will pump oil through it.
air locks dont occur in the oil system as they would in the cooling system.
Don't you just jack the car up and get to it that way? It'd be more convenient being more accessible, but that doesn't make it a shitty design.Quote:
