#1: The annual time has come again Author: iainlovatt, Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 4:09 am ---- Just about to do the annual oil change again, Just about to buy a new sump plug as have always just used the same one and have read somewere that it is important to change after a few oil changes, anyway here we go, here is the plug: Sump plug
But would anyone recommend getting a washer too? Sump washer
Finally what oil grade would people recommend for a 1.1 in the summer,
Cheers in Advance

Cant remember what i usually use, as bought so much oil for different people, I dont want to guess and want to buy some castroll stuff on the way back home later!

Better value still from the dealer is the sump plug only costing £1.27
Who said dealers were a rip off.
For less than £3 I would change both.
Get the oil from the dealer at the same time. Might as well use the recommended stuff for the engine.
