[@spambunny123]

Thankyou Haynes

[@HaynesManuals]

You're welcome!

Great Vidéo - Now I know how to do. But I still don't know what type of oil I need : 5W-30W or 5W-40W for my FORD Transit 260-85 of 2006 Diesel (gasoil) thanks a lot 💖🤗

[@drolmaling200]

OK found the type of oil in the comments 5W - 30W synthetic

[@katwood4680]

What size socket do you need to remove the oil filter case?

[@jakubjurga7936]

I need to know this as well

[@nicklinsner6049]

36mm

[@Max-bm5xj]

36 mm is correct, the drainplug is 13 mm

[@bicnarok]

@@Max-bm5xj is the washer also 13mm?

[@jasonobrien8861]

I've changed my filter numerous times and it leaks. Nothing I can do will stop it. Also put a new sump plug and seal on and that leaks. Any suggestions? (both torqued up correctly)

[@bicnarok]

Is there a trick to get the filter out of the housing, I used a lot of effort pulling it out and broke the spring and plastic thing in the middle ?

[@gregkrauze6470]

True. Just looking for some tips cause that's the only tricky part of the whole operation and not a word about it

[@Piierske]

hello, i have a question: problem on my ford transit 2005 (85t260). I have a coolant leak from the "oil cooler". I have the spare part, the question being: do I have to change the oil? or can I replace the part first and then replace the oil later?

[@HaynesManuals]

If there's a possibility that coolant has mixed with the engine oil, changing the oil is essential.

[@Piierske]

@@HaynesManuals Thanks you there is an oil cooler leak (hole / crack) near the bottom screw. I wanted to replace the part to be able to move to a friend who has a pit and finally change the oil. Do you think this is possible?

[@HaynesManuals]

It depends on how much coolant is in the engine oil. Pull out the dipstick and check - any coolant should be floating on top of the oil.

[@bmci007]

can i use aluminium washers as crush washers?

[@HaynesManuals]

Yes, as long as they don't leak

[@riz6392]

which type of engine oil is best ?

[@753ohtna]

5 w 30 preconised

[@emskiholla]

5 /30 fully synthetic

[@1Odama]

would be nice if you add the the tools need such as size ... otherwise great apresentation.

[@edokacej2603]

If this is for non experts I would expect suggestion- do changing of oil with warm / hot engine (don't do it with cold engine)

[@HaynesManuals]

Good point - the full procedure is given in our manuals.

[@emskiholla]

I agree the oil drains better when the engine is warmed up
