Title: How to change the oil
Post by: Andyp on February 16, 2004, 10:06:40 PM
Loah

I put my trolly jack etc into use at the weekend and changed my oil. Thought i\'d take some photos of it and thought it\'d be cool to make a guide for MRC as I know how daunting it can be first time

hope someone can make some use for it. If you want to make any changes / take it for hosting etc please let me know :D
