Hi all,
Just thought I would add the following from my workshop manual which seems to have been missed.
Sump plug tightening torque is 39Nm (very important!).
Oil filter torque is 22Nm (need a special tool to do this, advise to do it as tight as physically possible by hand.
Oil filter removal tool best to do this is a "claw" type. You can get one from Screwfix for about £12, works lovely on all filters I have ever removed and is worth buying.
Tightening torque for air filter screws/bolts is 3Nm (very light!). The reason for this is that they rust. 3Nm is quite a light torque, you would need a bicyle type one for this. Ligthly by hand I find is fine.
Oil capacity is 4.7 Litre (officially) with a new filter. This has been bang on every time for me. Advise to fill to just over 4 litres, run for 3 minutes (again workshop manual advies this), then check the level after 5 minutes resting. Also check for leaks at this point!
Hope this helps, I think the above are essential to know. :bigthumb:
