Just started tinkering with the new toy. Removed the front spoiler and bumper to do some fiberglass repair. Now looking to do a first oil change, but a lot is new for me.
My 1.7l has an Accusump. Bought it that way. Looking guidance on how to properly change the oil. Also concerned if a special oil filer is needed. Thanks for any assistance.. |

Open the valve, let the Accusump drain into the engine. Drain oil from engine, clean the screen, add listed oil quantity plus enough to re-fill the Accusump (you'll need to look up its capacity).
Once refilled start engine, give it a couple minutes to circulate while watching oil pressure, rev the engine to 2000-ish RPM for max pressure and shut off the valve; stop engine and set oil level to the dipstick. Don't worry about the oil in the lines, it not significant. Any idea why someone installed an Accusump? Is it a track car? |
