Hey all.
As mentioned earlier on, i'm doing my own in-betweeny oil/filter changes to bring the interval down to 10 000 k's.

Anyways, while i was down there with the 'bash plate' off, i noticed this bit of seepage... :

Not a lot of oil, & none of it has made it's way onto the top of the plastic bash plate, but any reason for concern? I s'pose motors tend to get a bit oily looking as time marches on...
Good to see minimal oil use, poured 4.4l of old oil back into a bottle with no top-ups over the 10K. 4.7l capacity. Came around rather quick, though a 4-&-a-bit-K roady at Christmas-time saw the km's clocking up quickly...
Here's a shot with filter off:

Great to not have oil dribble everywhere when you unscrew the filter!

Great oil filter wrench, also handy for getting difficult lids off jars!
