| Oil change - silly question time |
|
Looking to do an oil change and haven't been able to crawl under the D3 to see where the sump plug is situated because it hasn't stopped  down with rain!
Question: My driveway is on a slope, which would be the better option to drain? front end up slope or down slope?
Cheers. Zermatt silver beast

The sump plug screws vertically into the bottom face of the sump, so you want it level really to get as much of the old oil out as poss.

Get a small set of the cheap ramps reverse up the drive then drive the front wheels up the ramps, should be enough to even the slope out unless it is really steep. Seen a man on my street changing the oil this way and take it that's the reason why.
