Hi, I been searching everywhere for the mobile 1 10w 40, but it seems like it has been discontinued. Also where would u guys recommend in ordering the oem filter and washers at?

Thank You

 

very impressive. it must be second nature for you.

 

great work on the write up! im going to do my first oil change ever and was wondering how do i know

"Step 8 - Install the drain bolt with washer and tighten it to the specified torque: 22 lbf-ft (29 N-m, 3.0 kgf-m)."

what 22 lbf-ft feels like?

 

Get yourself a torque wrench. This one is $14 at Autozone, accurate to +/- 2%

 

+1 to the torque wrench..you will need it sometime in your life..like with me last week, i replaced the cam chain, and i had to loosen the cam cage up top to pick the cams up a little. The bolts holding the cams on had to be torqued to 7 ft*lbs. Any less they will loosen up by themselves, any more they will prematurely wear the cam journals.

 

I liked it. Thanks for sharing that information with us. It is very informative one.

 

I am brand new to my F4i and that site is great to see as I am about to start making sure everything is clean and flushed. Thanks!!

 

great writeup !! thanks

 

Anyone know if the original poster (the site with the DYI info) is still being updated? I just found his site and really like the step by step instructions with detailed pictures. I have a copy of the maintenance manual, but the photos step it up a notch.

Thanks

 

if you go to the root site, there is a pretty active board where he answers questions ... all the other content? ... ramblings
