Well done video! Thank you for charring! Much appreciated. My T4 2.4 is leaking oil, so I guess I need to take a look at it underneath.

Suggest new filter is not placed face down on the ground.

Hi from Danmark 🌎🌈 I have a t4 california 2,4 camper 94 🌞 Have you tried to replace the second battery

[@ToTheGarage]

Hi Sussi Yes I changed both. They are awkward to lift out

I use 15w40 in my t4 aab Is it correct?

[@ToTheGarage]

Hi Diegt4 Its fine.the 40 is the most important number to get right. This is the thickness of the oil when at operating temperature. The Number before the W (it stands for WINTER) shows how easy the oil is to pump around the engine at oil temps below -10 degrees C. The lower the number the easier /thinner/less viscose the oil will be at low temps. and therefore the easier it will be to start the engine and therefore get up to temperature. Different reference guides will recommend different W numbers and as oil technology improves there advice changes. All fully Synthetic tends to offer a lower W number than semi etc etc. I would say dot go above 20W 40 in the UK And if you are planning on touring Scandinavia then treat your van to some 5W 40 or even 0W40 Hope that helps my friend John👍
