400 SE Oil Change

[mad1800ti]

Wots the best way to oil change and fill back up.

Drain oil
Remove filter
Re-fill fresh oil
Pour fresh oil down the Remote oil filter houseing
Re fit new filter
Pull coil lead off
Crank the engine to build up oil presure
Coil lead back on and start engine


????
Or is there other ways

Regards

Sounds good. My usual routine is...
Drop oil, not too long & put plug back in.
Put a 5 litre can straight in without delay.
Whip old filter off.
3/4 fill new filter & scerw on as quick as possible.
Top up as necessary.

Done loads like this without any trouble.

When building the pressure on the starter you should also disable the fuelling - pull the pump relay.

I also fill my new oil filter with new oil .. it soaks into the filter mesh anyway .. causes less problems on startup I find.

Ditto.
I fill the filter and pour some down both remote filter housing pipes. Works a treat. I've never bothered cranking to build up oil pressure. I just start it up and the pressure follows soon enough.
Only problem I had was when I got out of sequence and started to fill up before putting the drain plug back in.
