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.. |

Here's my accusump .02cents.
If it a 2 quart it doesn't hold 2 quarts of oil. What it holds is based on how much air pressure there is. I think I run between 8-12 pounds in mine. I also drain my oil, put the drain plug back in and then empty the accusump into the case. Then drain again. Did the PO explain why he installed one? Track/Autocross cars tend to be the best application for these. Check out this video. Hope it helps. https://youtu.be/vyaGoj60A6s |
