Thanks, Mike.

Is that the "oil filter cap socket" or just a standard 36mm one? What do I put here then?

That's brilliant. Thank you so much, Mike.

Will get ordering the socket and torque wrench.

And the oil & filter.

Can anyone point me at where the suction tube on an SDV8 is please? What do I put here then?

Sorry ... one more question.

Is this oil ok to use:

Only ask as it seems so cheap. What do I put here then?

Thank you, @Stan What do I put here then?

That oil is the correct specification and a bargain price.
The 20 litre container might be a bit heavy to handle because you will have to measure out each litre to get the correct amount, but will do two full changes with a bit to spare.

Thanks, Mike.

Will have to go for 2 5l as nowhere to store the big boy.

Everything I need now ordered.

The "fun" will shortly commence.  What do I put here then?

Just a little tip,
The MAPT sensors get very dirty and clogged up on the 4.4 tdV8, …It only takes 5 minutes to remove and clean it, so I always do it at the same time as changing the oil.

As a spanner numpty, I'll start by getting an oil change right, then progress.

Thanks again for all your help. What do I put here then?

Touch wood.....Thats the only thing that has put me in limp mode in my 4.4 sport upto Now! mechanic new straight away as soon as I told him fault code of iid tool.
Says its common problem, getting chocked up👌👌👌👍....

This better be easy as inspired by this and other posts I'm going to buy the tools and the oil and filter and have a go myself - what could possible go wrong?

Thank you @Gremlin500

All the bits ordered.

First part - the filter - arrived from Duckworths earlier.

@BalticBlue has inspired me with confidence. I hope this is as easy as it sounds.

Had a look under the bonnet last night. Assuming this - circled in red - is where I connect the pneumatic drainer?
