Just done this service but had a nightmare trying to get the oil filter off !! Had to resort to old school method and stuck screwdriver through it ?? Ehh no going back from there. Managed to then lever a straight bar onto block and onto screwdriver which got it moving !! What a relief !!

Hi, thanks for the very informative video. I'm not sure I understood exactly how you managed to get the spark plug socket out after installing the new plugs. I've read a lot of cases that the washer stayed on the plug when the socket was pulled and would definitely need to avoid this when I replace my plugs...
@MotoringEvents

Thanks for watching, I have not experienced that problem, maybe it's an issue with cheap sparkplug sockets. It would be fiddly to get the washer if it did fall off maybe long nose pliers would do the trick. But like I said I've never experienced the issue.

nice tutorial thank you.question: if i change oil in my Ford focus mk2.5 is it important that the car is level for the old oil to drain completely out or is it ok if the front of the car is a bit higher?im asking because i would lift the front end to do the maintenance.

Hi, thanks for watching. I always drain the car with the front on the ramps, so I believe it is ok.

there isn't one on the mark 2 petrols. Fuel is filtered through a strainer on the fuel pump. It's a non serviceable part unless you remove the tank and change the pump.

Hi, if the engine is running well i don't worry about it. I believe to some extent they are pre-gapped. Maybe worth googling for more opinions.
