So while driving back from Bristol yesterday the car hit 30,000miles.
30,000miles (or 4 years) is the 'big service' time. Dacia calls for the following at this service...
-Engine Oil & Filter
-Air Filter
-Fuel Filter
-Pollen Filter
I decided to add into this the driveline lubricants as the car does get used quite hard from time to time with towing and off roading etc.
Went for Mann filters this time for a change. The exception being the fuel filter as there was several different types so played it safe and ordered from the dealer which came in a totally battered box.
So I started with the fuel filter which was buried deep in the wheel well. To get to it you have to pull back the wheel arch liner.
Was a bit shocked at the state of the old filter. But then when you consider the off-roading, wading and other shenanigans I've done then maybe it's not a surprise.
I gave the filter housing a good scrub and a spray with Bilt Hamber Dynax UC to try hold back the corrosion in the future as I don't intend on changing the way I use the car!
And then all refitted with the new filter element.
Then it was oil change time, just like the previous 5 OCI's.
New Mann filter installed, didn't feel quite as robust as my usual Bosch filter. Lets see what it looks like in 5k!
And then installed 6 litres of the catchy named Fuchs Titan GT1 XTL Flex 3 5w40.
Next up, gearbox, transfer box and diff time!
