How to Change MG Midget Engine Oil

[@kevinranson3831]

Ahh a perfect sunny Sunday morning, big mug of tea and watched your as always most enjoyable and useful video 😊 thanks Andy! 👍🏻 👏 👏

[@AndysMGAdventures]

Haha Kevin, that made me smile 😃

Tx Andy. Can't wait to get my ride out of storage in spring. With my classics garage being 100 miles from here and labour costs going thru the roof I greatly appreciate all the little practicalities I can do myself (and then properly from the start). 👍 Next job is diagnosing my non-running odometer.

[@AndysMGAdventures]

Man labour costs sooooo much. So if there are Jobs you can do . It's best to do!

One thing I would add to the process is to check that the old filter gasket/o-ring came off with the filter. If that old o-ring sticks to the mounting surface on the engine the new filter will not seal. Could you not get to the filter from underneath?

[@AndysMGAdventures]

Nice touch ! Quite right. I could get to the filter, but the gap between chassis rail amd sump is too small, and the triangle in the wheel arch is also not big enough

[@toniblumentritt7036]

Great one, again!! I'll do it, just like you did. 👍

[@AndysMGAdventures]

Haha. Good man toni. After 2 drives as well she's purring like a kitten !

[@corbindallas6287]

@Andy's MG Adventures thank you for worrying about little ol me. I'm back and up to date on you awesome videos.

[@mikes6961]

Ya wouldn't need to move anything for filter access if your steering wheel was on the side of the car it belongs on. 😀

[@AndysMGAdventures]

You git Mike!!!!

[@mikes6961]

@Andy's MG Adventures , love you my over the pond brother! Alot of your stuff inspires me to get off my lazy "arse" and work on my B. Thanks for the reply, it's like getting a reply from a celebrity. Though no Brad Pitt, you have a charm. :)

[@AndysMGAdventures]

Hahaha 😆 ill tell my wife that and see if it gets a reaction

[@mundanestuff]

Threads feel reversed because you're attacking it from the top. If you were trapped underneath her and removing from the bottom, they would be normal. The Triumph 1500 engines fitted to later models have what appears to be a plumbing pipe plug as an oil plug. It's disturbing to look and expect a regular old bolt, but see a 4 sided rough hunk of steel instead.

[@AndysMGAdventures]

You know its funny I tried underneath, and couldn't find a hole big enough for the new oil filter !
