oil change

[Riko_imp]

Its all in the manual

Oil change every 6K
Oil filter change every 12K
OR each every year
Wich ever comes first, the miles run or the time interval.


Unless I reach 12K before December, I will do my filter in December, together with my oil, even though the oil change might be to soon.

It would be strange to change the filter without the oil (not possible I think to, since you have to drain the engine to change the filter I think) but not visa versa.

On one of my oil changes (maybe the first) I overfilled with oil to the extent that the level was out of sight above the upper mark.
It bothered me so much that I backed off the drain plug and let it drip until the level came down to where I was comfortable.
It was a chancey thing to do as I had to back the plug out to almost the last thread. A bit more and then it would have been a disaster - but I got away with it and was more careful after that

You just described my first oil change :-)

At my second change, it was a just a tiny bit above the upper marker, I would have let it as it is, but I still kept bothering me, so I decided to drain it again

This time I was much more careful, and like you said, back the plug out to the almost last thread.
I did release it a bit so the oil could run freely, but this time I didn't lose the bolt out of my gloves....I think I got the hold of it now for next time
