You can use a small heavy duty bin bag for the oil filter. Soon as you release it with the spaner put the bin over the filter then turn the filter with hand the oil will fall/drip inside the bag
Hi, i use a 2 foot length of round gutter pipe leading to a container, it fits neatly up against the engine under the filter housingwith a little bit of rag and then it just flows away to the container i have set up at the other end.
Really appreciate that. What year is your insignia? Im guessing its the same job on all of them.. How long after getting code 82 can you drive before it breaks down?
I dunno if they are all the same this one is 2009 2.0 CDTI diesel. I never let it to get to this point I change oil every 6k miles but it is probably just me overdoing it.
hey, thanks for uploading this, can i ask, would this be possible with the standard jack that comes with the car? and how much oil does it take to fill it up once emptied?
Just to add, always use axle stands. Never trust just the jack, and also put the wheel under there as extra insurance just incase it does tip off the stands.
@@crussell5856 Its more about draining the oil without getting it everywhere you can't just put a tray under the filter and remove it like you can with 99.9999% of other cars lol
If you look for affordable quality, go with Valvoline or Total. If you look for top quality, try Revenol, Motul, Liqui Moly or Millers Oils, oh and a secret tip - Petro Canada. Look for correct viscosity, ACEA C3 grade (because of DPF) and dexos 2 Opel OEM norm.

I am always putting same amount back, run the car for a while and then I am checking on dip stick if it need a top up.

Why do Opel/ Vauxhall insist on making the oil filter as hard to reach as possible
Indeed I think the engineers did their best to make our life difficult
It's easy if you go from the top of the engine using an extension

What ia the engine oil used?
Why lossen ur wheel nuts? Forgive me if i missed something.
So you can remove the wheel because behind the arch is the location of oil filter. Wouldn't recommend undoing fully tighten nuts when car is lifted.
What about the fuel filter?

Why did you take the wheel off?
To gain access to oil filter, diesel engine have the oil filter behind the wheel arch :)
How much liters of oil goes when refeeling
I've put 4.2l, but it really depends. Best is to check it with oil stick. Or add same amount you drained.
Should be 4.5 litres , it willlook overfull on the dipstick , bit is correct
What Oil did you use?
5w30 shell helix ultra :)
