Oil Change.
Probably a stupid question and I was just having a bad day cos I've done oil changes on my NC30 before.
Anyway I attempted to do an oil change today but I couldn't get a socket of the sump plug for the life of me. The exhaust was in the way. Any tips for when your doing an oil change? I tried moving the exhaust but it didn't seem to help much.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Oil Change.
I just make improvised cardboard funnel so the oil doesn't piss all over the exhaust, throw it out afterwards, job jobbed..

I just put a tub underneath let it all drain out and wipe the exhausts :)

Re: Oil Change.
Cheers Sam. Didn't even think about using a spanner, clearly having a bad day! Pretty sure I've got a 17mm in the garage somewhere. If not I'll give you a shout. Cheers.
