A friend of mine is helping me service the car on Saturday and I have all the filters needed. I also ordered a new sump plug and seal which is a Torx head. Does anyone know if the existing sump plug is a Torx head so we know what to look for and also is there only one under engine panel that needs removing to access the sump?

Hey guys

Just a quick one.

Have a astra J 1.7 gtc diesel. Does anyone know what size socket is need on the sump nut to drain oil.

My 2012 GTC 1.4t sump gasket looks like it’s on the way out, it’s starting to weep. It that a common problem? Got 75000miles on the clock.

Anyone else have a horrendous amount of stone chips? I do. Bonnet especially and serious road rash! Possibly a piss poor factory paint job! Don’t think much paint went on it!

Hi now I have changed a lot of oil in my time, and have always renewed the sump plug washer or o ring, but just lately I have come across always renew the sump plug ? when doing an oil change, on web sites and tv shows, any ideas where this is coming from or opinions on the subject, me I think I will stick with renewing just the washer/o ring
