People seem to like my amateur YouTube videos about getting my Mk2 back on the road.
I have been a bit lax getting the latest one up!!

It would be great if you can subscribe!!

 

I would have filled the cannister with oil first _ not so full that it would spill out of course.
This also allows the paper element to become saturated with oil and minimize the crank being starved of oil for a number of seconds on start up.

There is a myth that filling the cannister, or spin on filter first, allows unfiltered and possibly contaminated oil into the engine first, this is simply not true.

 

Ah - I have never thought of that.
