dude that's whats this place for, just ignore people that go at you for doing so.

also be sure to get a workshop manual for your BF has that will answer lot of questions for you.

cheers.

+1 this forum shoots alot of people down for questions like this, everyone has to start somewhere. Autobarn, Repco and Bursons should sell a BF workshop manual if you don't already have one.

yeah i know alot people do that, thats why i was a bit hesitant at asking, ive been on the forums for a while now, and see people getting flamed/put down for simple questions lol.

Thanks for the replies guys, also, any oil filters people would recommend? im assuming they are much of the same with different price tags?

Ryco Z9 is $7.88 at Supercheap.

My Motorcraft one is in the mail as we speak :D Thought that I would give it a go.

Here's a tip. Note down the number plate of a BF taxi in the area. Walk into Ford and buy what you are after by asking for a fleet operators discount. Specify that its for a taxi and quote the plate you took a mental note of when asked. Then bulk buy. You'd be surprised how cheap filters really are when you order 20+ of them.

I only use the K&N or Drift filters, they got the magnet in the center of them and they are only like $16.

You could get a filter mag and it would do a betrer job that works out cheaper in the end.
