Ayy machan! 👋 Most of us love getting our hands dirty and doing the work ourselves, so I thought I'd share how I do an oil change for my Defender. It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. 💪
Here's the step-by-step:
- Tools ready: You'll need an oil filter wrench, drain pan, socket wrench, funnel, oil, and the right filter. Don't forget the gloves, brother! 🧤
- Lift the Defender: Use the jack and get the front lifted up, then secure it on some stands. Safety first, bro!
- Drain the oil: Find the oil drain plug, put the drain pan below, and unscrew it. Let that old oil drip out – don't rush it, give it a minute.
- Swap the oil filter: Use the filter wrench to remove the old one. Lightly grease the new filter's rubber seal and screw it on, not too tight though, yeah?
- Add the new oil: Pour in the new oil slowly with a funnel. Don't forget to check the level after. You don't wanna overfill or underfill.
- Check for leaks: Start the engine, let it run for a minute, then switch off and check under the car for any leaks.
And that's all, machan! You're good to go with fresh oil in your Defender. 🚙💨
