Heya buddy, sorry I didnt reply sooner. I had to go back and find those pics, thats why I took so long. Gotta love the Brotherhood! I live in a small town too. I am glad to have a forum such as this to help me out in times of need also. Glad I could help you out my friend! You take care now and make sure you have fun.
Imagine friend!, It's nothing to apologize! the difference between our small towns is that you live in the USA! BRAZIL exists only here in an authorized workshop and is 3200 km from where I live! and even if it were on my side was no advantage buy anything there! when I need something, buy the RICAMBI AMERICA even paying for air freight and 60% of tax my country tax on the purchase price even so, many of these pieces come here in half the price charged by Ferris of Brazil! amazing is not it?! therefore, believe that somehow you live in paradise!

Hey PAP, you think you waited long enough on that oil change? The oil looks pretty black to me!! Look!! I'm posting PAP style!!
Lol, well that was a few years ago now. Back in mid 2007. Engine oil had only done around 4000 km when I changed it. But I havent changed it since then and car has around another 3000 km on that Mobil 1 oil. I will change the oil again when I pull the engine for the major service..............whenever that may be. And thanks for posting like me. I appreciate it.
Excellent instructions PAP. To the OP - there is nothing like the 348 Brotherhood, anytime you have a question or an issue, be sure to come post it here and several people will come to your aid. Welcome to the Brotherhood, by the way.
Best oil change thread I found. A couple of questions: 1. What are the torque specs on the 22mm bolt, the 12mm drain and, out of curiosity, the gear box drain plug too? 2. Do you check the oil level with the car running or off? I have seen both. I think the service manual says off and I think that is what you did. Just clarifying. 3. What is the easiest and least risky way to remove the air box?
1) Not sure, but I just tighten it up snug, not gorilla tight, just snug for both 2) I have read on here it works both ways, but I kill the engine then check immediately after (I think it says within 20 seconds of turning the engine off). 3) There is no easiest or least risky, there's only one way - four 10mm nuts (one on each corner), unfasten a few clamps/hoses, and off it goes.
