- Decide to use a recent donation and pay it forward by carrying out an oil and oil filter service on a random strangers car.
Due to the ongoing climate I had to choose someone at random from my local area via social media,
The gentleman in question was overjoyed to say the least and is already making his own plans to “pay it forward”.

Just bought an astra k 2 weeks ago so been looking for vids like this much appreciated
Good in you matey well done👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. I love to see good to honest people in the world
Nice one mate thanks for the orientation 👍
Great help thanks very much
you are better than the rest because you got it right
@RustyNLC how many litres of oil did you drain? and how much did you have to fill back in in order for it to be just before the maximum capacity?
Around 4.5litres
@@RustyNLC thanks!
B16DTH?? max. 4 Litres (better 3,5)! RTFM 😉
Do you need that computer or can you also meassure it with the oil dip stick ?
If the car has an actual dip stick fitted then you can use that, if it has a digital level (no dip stick fitted) then you have to rely on the onboard level reading.
Hi, do you know the torque used in the oil carter plug?!
If I remember correctly according to Vauxhall the recommended torque for this cars sump plug was 14nm,
Some Vauxhall sump plugs are 20-25nm, it won’t hurt going slightly tighter, just don’t go too tight (more than 25nm) otherwise you risk stripping thread. Just be sure to change the washer/O ring for a new one. 👍🏻
Do you by any chance know where is the oil filter located on zafira 1.6 diesel 2017?
Without knowing your registration to determine the exact engine code, it will either be tucked on too, or at the bottom towards the back
I serviced a 2013 2 ltr Astra yesterday. who ever decided to put the oil filter with no room had to take the driver wheel off. and use a 32mm low profile socket.
Yep it’s a pain. It’s the same on the Vauxhall insignia’s also. 😖
@@RustyNLC have you had any experience with fiat 500 on dash saying excess radiator fluid temperature. I've been asked to look at one. I know they have issues with the thermostat. 🔧🔧🚘🚘
@@meirionevans9088 I’d check the thermostat, the thermostat housings tend to crack/leak, and also check the temp sensor. Iv come across a fair few that have failed.
@@RustyNLC had a feeling. as this happens on the. panda aswell
Did you put the all 5 Ltrs bootle when you changed the oil?
Yes
4 liter
@@desmondndi7269 4 ltr? Are you sure?!
I have opel astra my own is messin up with oil and water
Doesn’t sound good, if toil and water are mixing it Could be a failed oil cooler, or an issue with head gasket.
He always looks as if he is doing something naughty and the wife could come round the corner at any time.
It's a 1.6 cdti on the Astra k
That’s Correct, I service way too many 1.7cdti so it was a false of habit/slip of the tongue in my part 🤦♂️,
Hi for when a coolant change for astra k?! ...thanks
Ideally You need to test the coolant with a coolant tester to see what temperature it’s effective to, or change every 3 years as Routine maintenance
I have change the coolant is 2 weeks now
