It’s been time for an oil change for a good few months, on all the cars really, but the Land Rover is the easiest, so it got in there first. I also did an enginer flush, which is a first for me. I got some stuff from Halfords for just over five quid a tin, and that tin will do up to 10 litres of engine oil, so that covers all of our cars. As soon as I got in, I popped the bonnet right off and dumped this stuff in as per the destruction on the tin, then it said to idle for 20 mins, this seemed excessive to me (Even though I don’t understand the reasons etc etc) so I set a timer for 7 mins and thought I woulc chekc back in to see what the engine temperature was up to.
After 7 minutes it was still bearly above normal and with a working radiator fan I didn’t want it getting too hot, so I left it for another 7 minutes. When the alarm went off I was set up to drop the oil, so I went ahead, the oil came out like water, really thin.
I realised when I went to remove the sump plug that I’d parked it with the plug looking uphill, so I jacked it up to make it lean the other way to get more of the old oil out. I think I am pleased with the Wynn’s stuff, though if it springs an oil leak I will clearly blame that stuff and never use it again.
