What a difference

RPWC · 29th March 2015, 12:27

I had my auto oil changed today by Col at Stirling MG,what a difference it has made. The gearbox was never notch or troublesome before,but now its quieter and smoother. The old oil was brown and only just over two litres came out,now its at the correct level and ticket boo! Thanks Col

Next weekend I need to do engine oil and oiled fuel filter change

My tourer was very brown in colour when i changed mine and very occasionally it would not change gears smoothly, all good now it has been done...

That's good to know Rich

I might have to invest in some fluid & give mine a change now

Hi Rich.
Did you do get the full amount changed or just what Rover recommended.

In my experience you don't need to do a full change, just dropping the oil and refilling transforms the changes.

I did the whole lot for him using the tips from Beinet............................sadly he had not accounted for the fact that someone might have put the oil cooler pipes on the opposite way round

there was less of a slick when the Torrey Canyon ran aground
