They don’t congeal like they used to do and they have detergents to keep the engine clean. They have dispersants to keep dirt in suspension.

In a lot of cases, you have to go underneath to get at the filter. I once did a Rover 75 and it had a huge steel tray on which every bolt snapped off. It had a BMW engine with the filter at the top and if I’d had a pump which I didn’t it might have saved me most of a day’s work.

Thankfully, RAVs and CX-5s have very sensibly positioned access holes for simplified oil changes.

Road rockets the same. Dead easy to change the oil and filter and it runs on fumes. Did I ever mention that ??

For when the one great scorer comes to mark against your name he marks not that you won or lost but how you played the game.
