Just gone to give the M20 it’s usual yearly service, drove it up on the ramps unscrewed the oil drain plug,old oil in a nice big container, use my old traditional oil filter the one with a chain that raps around it and pierces it only because it was so tight, I usually manage to get it off without the pierce.Next drain plug back in take new oil filter out of the box or should I say, the wrong filter in the right box and Euro car parts are closed today,so check it in the shop or before I take the old one off next time.
