Threading Of The Engine Oil Stopper Seat

[Mooncat]

I get the bulk out with an oil extractor for cleanliness (most drain containers are only about 5 litres too) and then get the last 1/4 litre or so out from the sump plug. A new plug is less than £2 and just torque it up to 30Nm and all is good. I'm replacing the filter from underneath anyway so have to remove the bottom cover so it makes sense to do the job properly.

.... ok, I am also a passionate amateur mechanic and once you did not use, if not rarely, the pumps to extract the engine oil, but now some cars do not even have the cap for the exhaust! .... .com Anyway I found out that it's better not to tighten this T6 cap too much ....
