Talking DUGGH, an idea for oil changes n how old guyz do it.
Today for the first time in a year I pulled out the C and gave it a wash and oil change for the weekend autocross event.

After draining the oil and pulling the filter I started to figure out how to balance a funnel on the oil inlet pipe. Not gonna happen. After thinking for a moment I decided that Iam gonna pore the oil all over the place with adding 9 quarts and that was not going to be a good idea.....????????????

I realized that with the oil filter out I had a PERFECT place for the oil funnel, in the passage of the oil filter !! The hole for the filter was very deep and a good funnel holder. ZIP in went the oil then the filter assembly. No muss no fuss or as I have said for years TAAAAA DAAAA.

Remember to save the old oil rings, they are young o rings and there may be other uses around the garage, just saying.

I have mentioned this long ago, but its worth saying again. Take the smaller of the o rings and use it on the dip stick ( replace that one )to provide a better retention for the dip stick so that if you operate at high revs a lot like me, the dip stick stays put!

Enjoy, WY)
