Oil Change FNM

Post by Jac Mac »

Hi all,
tommorow I am going to attempt to change the engine oil and filter on my 57 Major.
My questions.
1 Where is the sump?( I know its underneath)
2 Do I need any special knowledge on changing the filter?
3 Do I fill it up from the top of the engine next to the water?

Any diagrams would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Jack.

Hi Jack,

The operators manual is available on the main site. Oil change is described on page 33 http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/manua ... 32-033.jpg.

The sump capacity is given on page 5 http://www.fordsontractorpages.nl/manua ... 04-005.jpg

I hope this helps.

P.S. Where about in Warwickshire are you? I'm in darkest Brailes in the South.
