Hi Jon.
Did you give the car a good run before changing the oil, at least 5 miles, always best to have the engine hot when draining the oil, it helps it flow out better from the sump plug hole.

Car on ramps or axle stands.

Once you removed the sump plug, leave it draining for at least 30 minutes, remove the oil filler cap, and the dip stick, undo the oil filter cap at the same time.

Smear new oil on the seal
8


Fit oil cap.

Renew the sump plug/ washer.

Make sure its tight and re-fil with new oil 6.5ltrs diesel takes 6.8lts but you can top it up once it is down on the level ground again.

Fit oil filer cap and dip stick, start the engine for about 5 minutes, clear up then lower the car.

Leave for about 15 minutes, remove dip stick and wipe clean, dip it back in and remove after 5 seconds take the reading.

Oil should be about 3/4 up the level between min & max, oil should be fairly clean.

Top up to max if you like i always leave mine at 3/4 mark which is about 200ml short of max.
