Discovery 2 v8 oil and filter change

[@josephhomen]

To prevent dry starts when changing oil on the Land Rover it is important to.step 1 drain the oil from crank case.step 2 fill the crank case with new oil. Step 3 remove old oil filter. step 4 replace with new prefilled oil filter. The Land Rover shop manual states not to remove the oil from the crank case and the oil filter at the same time, because when the motor starts, there will be no oil in the pick up tube and when you start the motor the oil pump will pump air instead of oil for the first few seconds.

Even in the video it took several seconds for the oil light to go out when you first started it. that’s because there was no oil in the pick up tube or the oil pump. because it all drained out the oil filter when you removed it.

I don't think I filled the oil filter up with oil at that angle end up with a mess

Thanks for the video. I changed my Thor’s oil last week but added a longer Wix oil filter (5151XP?) and a 14mm magnetic oil sump plug bolt.

Масло в фильтр наливать ненадо.
