Hey,Martin. Don't suppose it matters that much-but as the filter housing goes on virtually upright( I think you've guessed it) Yes,I would've bunged some oil in the filter & housing b4 fitting it . Also MY tip for getting every chance of the drain plug loosening off. I often wack on with a hammer an imperial equivalent ,which is a half inch ,onto the hex. (As the heads are normally always a bit dodgey on an older vehicle anyway) Another one-wrap a ribbon of wet & dry or a bit o'sand paper around the hex and then jam the relevent socket or ring spanner over. Takes up any access clearance and also grips like poop to a blanket! Might've been helpful on the filter housing removal that one. Just wanted to share a couple of ideas of mine to you and my fellow subscribers to your channel. All the breast, Rogey Roger.

Great Video, did my Brothers 2013 2.2 last week. Wish my SAAB 9-3 1.9 Diesel was as easy to do, I changed the gearbox oil too. Running lovely now. Your video's are always boss. Thanks, Vinny.

TDCI is too fragile

@baron5747

@@user-sf7kl9uh7k How is the TDCi too fragile?. It's an engine born out of collaboration between Ford and PSA, creating the HDi/TDCi range. They are used across a magnitude of different vehicles, and produce massive miles even on conservative maintenance. Euro 5 models were a pain with the introduction of DPF/Emission control systems, but that isn't the engines fault.

Good advice on the oil filter seal and holding the socket up Against the filter housing

Nice one mate , that oil filter couldn’t of been in a easier place

Evening Martin 🤝

4:00 The housing on my euro 5 was done up super tight, a 6 sided 27mm socket still rounded the plastic nut. Had to get my stronger mate to undo it for me using a set of oil filter jaws and even he struggled.

I always find those plastic housing leak when they are too tight, also a pain to remove 😂 25nm is perfect

Always tinkering with Fords! I did my clutch on my Mondeo because of your videos. On the 2.2d, think this is the PSA engine? If so, so check the price for the Peugeot, Citroen or Landrover “filter”. On my 1.6d Focus i always got my parts at the Citroen garage as it was cheaper than the Ford garage.

Nice easy oil change on that van shame all vehicles are not like that I remember you explaining your reason for not warming the oil before draining in a previous video great job 👍

Yes, exactly

Well said Martin with regards to when the engine was last ran it was hot and drained back to the sump , does annoy me when people say you need to warm the engine up etc makes no sense especially if the car or van hasn’t moved since it was ran up and was at operating working temperature

It probably originates from when oils were much higher viscosity on the older motors. And in a chilly climate you'd grow a beard in the time it took to drain completely. I've, in recent years,not worried too much about running the vehicle to warm up. Although I admit I always USED to.

I had so much hassle with the same oil filter housing i had to heat up the seal ad bash a cold chisel round the edges to move it . Them housing are cheap so i made sure i could get a new one before i started. I always put some old cardboard down before i change the oil as its a pain to get it off the paving.😅

Them plastic housing can be a right pain in the arse. You have the same torque wrench as me Martin. I find if you say click click when it's tight it's tightened perfectly 😂😂

Nice, makes a change to have things like the filter etc easy to get to, my 350 AWD one is a bit of a pain as the engine is front to back, but do able. Must admit I tend to pre fill the oil filters when I can so theres less time spent with the oil light on and the engine running.

its ok if you have an oil filter that sits upwards but not if they are on the side of an engine. There's enough oil on the bearings anyway for the first couple of seconds that it takes the oil filter to fill up.

very cood transit man suomi finland🙂🤗👍👌

you need to Warm the engine to 90• because cold oil is thicker consistency and remains on the engine walls and drips slower, thats why you want it hot to drain it easier and get most of it out as its more runny , like butter when its warm it's runny when its cold is more consistent

@retrorestore

Not true, the last time the engine was run, the oil was hot and it all drained into the sump so it's all in the sump anyway. Today's oils are a lot thiner than they used to be and are no longer like treacle when cold. You are only draining the oil out of the sump.

Nice vid. Question, how do you dispose of the waste oil?

Check that your van isn’t washing diesel into the sump from dodgy injectors and or failed regents as it’s a fairly classic symptom of a rising oil level or a van that never gets a long run.
