Before i pop the car up to do this could somebody tell me where the oil filter and plug are under a zed?

 

I've never done one myself on the zed yet, is it a bit of a bugger? lol

its behind the drivers side front wheel, standard filter is bright blue, cant miss it. the plug is somewhere there too at an angle, u will see what i mean when u look.

If you're got long arms you can get to them without jacking the car up. I usually just drive the front o/s wheel onto a 4" block of wood.

Oil Drain plug is on the drivers side of the sump at the back corner, Filter should be blue sorry can't find a pic.

Thats what I do as well, but I can hardly reach (shorter arms lol)

i get to scaffold planks and place them over a swimming pool... then i drive the car on and do it whilst taking a swim!

 

oh ffs im at it again... spurting out utter rubbish... of course i dont do that as i might get oil in the pool!

 

:slap:

fpmsl :D Cheers lads, i've taken my front bumper off anyway to do some work on the extra oil cooler i'm fitting to the gearbox so just hammered some screws into the ground through the ramps i have and drove it straight up :D

 

Can see the filter and guessing i can see the plug too, i'll post some pics up for fture reference :D

make sure you dont mistake the oil drain plug for the gearbox/engine mount bolts, coz if you undo them it will hurt your head! this is a common mistake...

 

OMG, joel no it isnt... shut up! i need more sleep...

To be honest it's not an easy reach, all hinges on the ratchet being the right length really ...
