and do you HAVE to change the oil filter?

probably some stupid questions but im learning!

The drain plug is on the bottom of the sump. You dont have to change the filter, but for the sake of a couple of quid I would.

i cant really see the bottom of the sump from the top (all the cables and crap get in the way. as illustrated above )and when i look at it from the bottom its hard to tell whats what. is it that spherical thing with the hose coming off of it? if not, what does it look like?

[goaferboy]

jobs done now a neighbour helped me out. it was hid away damnit!

Yes I very much doubt that you would be able to see any sump plug from the top.
