It all gets used one way or another I might even scrape together enough for a Grom change and yes she is!

Yea I was quite surprised as took a few turns to get her loose and its not like I swing on them when fitting.

Thanks again Rob

Thanks Dave, I think I'll be looking at other alternatives like this next time.

👍 Ahaha 🤣

She is glad you enjoyed it

Ah yea I know what you mean. I’ve never tried one of them but yea look good, only downside is would need a range of sizes for all the different ones I do

I think its because we are used to a disposable way of life. In't olden days they'd have filtered old stuff through a sock ... (only joking)

Thanks John!

Thank you 😊

Your making me blush. ☺

Don't tell him that!!!

@@DormanDiaries The SF imparted his wisdom, "use the old oil first..." and gave solid reasons, number one being "no carbon!" You just brushed it way, nah... I'll use the new stuff. Classic move. Please more duo videos. You two make a good pair.

@@VishalVoraUK - hehehe...I listened, I computed and then brushed it off lol

Good points!

I’m starting to wonder if it’s more of a packing/shipping saving rather than an environment thing.

@@DormanDiaries Ah, yes that makes more sense🙂

Yea I thought I had a webbing version somewhere but I have a similar clamp thing for joinery I must have been thinking of. You can probably improvise too with some old inner tube etc if you had to

Much better. The rubber strap . Also exists the nylon strap.

We shall agree to disagree :) Yea I mentioned about pre filling etc but didn't use the clip, can't use everything. I always prefill the landy one as its a vertical fitment, same with the diesel filter to aid bleeding. Silver Fox too lazy to do that, he scrunched his nose up at the suggestion I seem to recall!

Hi John, I do soak and pre-fill filters when mounted vertical, bit messy when horizontal. They dug up a WW2 Bomber once from a bog. They tested the oil from a unbroken gear box, and guess what....the oil was still in spec after 50 years. 🤔

@@2WHEELSor2WINGS well I don’t fill to the brim and I put it on quick enough 😁 so not to make a mess 😆

@@2WHEELSor2WINGS I believe that fun fact about the WW2 bombers oil 😁

YES. Regular long runs are good for the oil. Where as lots of short runs are much worse for the oil. Every heat cycle of the engine ends with the air in the Crankcase cooling, contracting and drawing air to equalise the pressure. The moisture content of air dependent on temp and humidity. So many heat cycles draws more moisture, long runs boil off moisture. We don't need to be over concerned by this, but it is good to be aware of. 😎

I had visions of that or ripping off the neck!

Thanks Paul. Need to get some footage together for the next garage instalment. It’s come on a long way but still a long way to go as just don’t get the time

My issue is they are very much single use. Also.. something that I didn’t show that happened after, because I didn’t have a bottle in which to put the old I left it in the bowl on the shed floor until I had chance to fetch an old can. But when tidying I dropped an axle from my wheel balancer into the oil which was annoying… and then when I came back later I had an oil slick inside and outside the shed… it had cracked the bowl. The amount of stuff I had to use to clean that up way outweighed any environmental friendliness. Also do they not recycle plastic oil bottles? I thought they did. If not then perhaps we should go back to metal ones. Either way plastic or metal they get used more times than these disposable ones. I think I’d like to do some more research and see which really is better.

@@DormanDiaries: I agree the metal ones were better and you can use them repeatedly. Here in the US, we can burn used motor oil in a shop furnace for heat in the winter, it's a perfect way to rid the old oil. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your channel. Cheers!

I got a similar comment from Silver fox 🤣 - mine.. it’s worth it for the cherry red oil window 😎

I use Westway Lubricants, great quality BUT NOT RED !!! 🤣. They do a 4T oil that is exsactly to the RE specification at about 1/2 the price of the red stuff. Satisfies my Yorkshire genes, quality and value. 😎

@@2WHEELSor2WINGS I use Westway in my Interceptor as well, & a Mahle OC 458 filter.
