Have done oil changes before but not thought of getting one of hose valves. Would make things a lot easier. Going to be doing a fluids change soon.

Been getting bits together to do an oil change and other bits for my car. Have tried to email the company for the drain valve but the email keeps getting \'failure to deliver\'
Anyone managed to order one recently?

just been talking to vtec-boi and he brought up the topic of changing oil in the oil filter.
is it a case of taking the oil filter out and turning upside down? as there no drain hole on the coolers or are they designed to allow oil to flow out of them?

Do you mean oil cooler?

d\'oh, sorry yeah ment cooler :p

It only holds 1 quart of oil so if you oil\'s changed regular there\'s no need imo.

i wouldn\'t worry too much about the cooler(s), as said, regular changes and you\'re good.

Taking the sump plug off ususally only allows about 90% of the oil to come out anyway.
