Astra 1.8SRi Oil Change

Jul 28, 2005 0 Replies

I need to change the oil on my 02 Astra 1.8 SRi and I haven't had to do it on this car before: dealer until now.



Could someone confirm that I'm correct in thinking:


- the sump plug is on the flat underside of the sump at the front right corner



- I need a T45 torx bit to remove the sump plug



- the sealing ring is a rubber ring rather than a copper washer



- the plug should be re-tightened to 14Nm



- the filter is a paper cartridge rather than a cartridge in a metal container.



Just trying to make sure I don't get half way through the job and then find I've got a long walk to get the correct bits!



TIA
