Changing the oil filters on a 4.2 diesel has to be the dirtiest bleedin job I have ever done on a vehicle.
There has to be a way to stop oil running all over the side of the engine, starter, diff etc.
Not to mention the driveway.
I put down a sheet of plastic this time, wiped most of it up then degreased the motor before washing it all off.
What a PITA.
Any ideas how to do it would be appreciated as I am making a dogs breakfast of it.
Even thought of letting a mechanic do it, just got to make sure the oil and filters are what I want used though.
Thanks in advance
