I recently bought a second hand Vauxhall Corsa and after a long drive of around 200 miles, the car developed a problem and shuddered to a halt. All the oil had drained and it looked on closer inspection to have drained from a small brass-ringed hole at the bottom right hand side of the oil tank (not the sump), near the oil filter. Having looked at a neighbour's M-reg Corsa it looks like what's missing is a transparent 'plug'...
Until I can ascertain WHAT is actually missing or get it towed to a garage (limited as I work shifts) and have a professional (expensive) look at it i'm gonna just have a lump of metal at the end of my drive...What is the brass-ringed hole called on the the oil tank, next 2 the oil filter, on an N-reg Vauxhall Corsa?

the oil filter attaches to what part of the engine?
i have a leak btw the oil filter and the part where it attaches to in the engine, i have changed the filter many times but the leak still persists. what is the name of that part on the engineOil filter attaches to what part of the engine?
Oil filter adapter gasket or seal to the engine block.Some engine equipped with oil cooler and leak at the adapter is common.Oil filter attaches to what part of the engine?
If you're sure it's the oil filter that's leaking where it attaches to the mount, it's possible you have an old filter gasket stuck there. I know if I over tighten a filter the gasket sometimes gets left behind. That's an easy fix. Your problem is hard to diagnose since you haven't told us what brand, which engine, year, or model.
It bolts to the block. If need be, go ask at the part store, I don't exactly what it is called, but it on the block and it it bolted there.
Are you talking about you oil pressure sending unit?

How do I change an oil burner filter?
Most important, the first thing to do is turn off the oil supply valve. Put a catch pan under the filter, unscrew, remove, and replace. Turn on oil supply and you're good to go. My Dad had two different types. The newer one was spin on, like a car's. The older one was like the old time car's where a paper filter was inside a can that was reused. Just the paper filter was replaced.How do I change an oil burner filter?
And also bleed the air out of the filter by loosening the little screw on top to let some oil out the bleed hole before starting the burner. Also, turn the burner's emergency switch off to make sure it doesn't fire up while your servicing it. You can pour fresh fuel oil in the filter before reinstalling it if there's any problem bleeding the air out. There's a coarse filter screen integral to the injector pump sometimes, but it seldom needs cleaning if you have an external filter in the fuel line. The burner spray nozzle also acts as a filter and may need replacement if the burner's not running properly. Wear throw away surgical gloves to protect your hands from the smelly fuel oil.How do I change an oil burner filter?

Is it okay to change your oil without changing your oil filter?
No it is not ok. By not changing your oil filter you do what is known as adding clean water to a really dirty bucket. When you add the new oil and start the car, the oil will be contaminated with the same gunk as the previous oil. This gunk usually builds up on the important parts of the engine and clogs up parts are need oil flow to keep the engine lubricated. Soon after due to the high temperatures and moving parts, pieces of metal do flake off and go into your oil. Some engines have drain plugs with magnets that collect the metal filings. But Again if you don't change your filter those filings tear right through the filter and no protection anymore to engine ( this means Kaboom later on to the engine). Not only that the gasket from the oil filter is not made to last long periods (so expect a leak on maybe your second or third time around using the same filter).Is it okay to change your oil without changing your oil filter?
It's ill advised. Oil filters are too small as it is these days. Why recirculate filthy oil through a loaded tiny oil filter. You seem to forget that oil filters have two internal valves. The anti-drain back and oil by-pass valves. When filters plug up the bypass valve opens and you get *no oil filtration at all. The anti-drain back valve holds pressureized oil to the oil pump from the time you shut the motor down till the motor starts up again.
Why go el-cheapo. Spend an extra $5.00 for an AC-Delco, NAPA ( made by Wix) Carquest (made by Wix) Motorcraft (made by Purolater) Denso, Purolator Gold by name, and Wix by name. They're all readly avalable.Is it okay to change your oil without changing your oil filter?
No. The filter is full of dirt, grime and gunk and cannot filter new oil effectively. It would be better to just change the filter and not the oil. Spend the extra $5 and put a new filter on the car.
for the price of a fiver or so u might aswell and to tell u the truth for another fiver id do an engine flush aswell its cheap enuff its the oil thats the sting.
Not Ok. Its like putting on a pair of clean pants that Mom took fresh out of the dryer for u to wear over a dirty pair of underware
You wont hurt anything, but you'll be waisting your money as all that pretty clean oil runs right through the dirty old filter you left on. Seriously, an oil filter cant cost more than $20. You probably paid more for the oil.
It's better than not changing your oil at all. But you really should change both at the same time for the best results.
yes it won't hurt anything but oil will leak out all over the place so be quick about it.
Not the best place to try to save money.
Would you recommend saving on toilet tissue by using both sides?
It won't hurt too much, but as filters are cheap, you really ought, you know.

it will make your oil dirty quicker.
i guess
but kinda stupid

When doing the breakin service on a harley does it consist of more than changing the oil and filter,adjustment?
need any adjustments?When doing the breakin service on a harley does it consist of more than changing the oil and filter,adjustment?
In addition to polarbear's list: Check all motor mount bolts, tighten as needed.When doing the breakin service on a harley does it consist of more than changing the oil and filter,adjustment?
(From the service manual) The 1000 mi service includes:
engine oil and filter-replace
oil lines and brake system-inspect
air cleaner-inspect, service as required
tires-check pressure, inspect tread
wheel spokes-check tightness
primary chaincase lubricant-replace
transmission lubricant-replace
clutch-check adjustment
primary chain-check adjustment
final drive belt-inspect sprockets, adjust belt
throttle, brake %26amp;clutch controls-inspect, adjust, lubricate
jiffy stand-inspect %26amp; lubricate
fuel valve, lines %26amp; fittings- inspect fro leaks
brake fluid-check level %26amp; condition
brake pads %26amp; discs-inspect wear pattern
spark plugs-inspect
electrical equipment %26amp; switches-check operation
engine idle-check adjustment
steering head bearings-adjust
I took mine in for the first service but have done all service intervals since myself.... get a service manual its worth every penny.
I agree with Polarbear - I did the same 1st to the dealer to check everything,the rest I do with a H.D. factory manual.Work on it yourself - you learn how it works and how to recognise any faults.
bart's answer about using non-Harley oil is bogus. If the dealer tells you you must use HD oil he has to provide it free of charge. refer him to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975
They also check and adjust the primary chain and drive belt. Not getting it done can void your warranty. That's something to remember if you are thinking of skipping it.
Its VERY important that the first service is done by a Harley Davidson Dealer and a factory trained mechanic and he must fill out and stamp the service card for the bike.
getting it serviced, or using off brand, non HD oil by a rice burner shop will void your warranty.
and you better be nice and friendly to your HD Dealer, don't moan and complain about the bill because that dealer can void your warranty for any reason even if you piss him off.
mostly wil just give it a shake down and see if anything is loose and will cost arm and a leg i did my own after knowing how much they wanted to check it out but you get a oil change and it check really just call and talk with them about it i didnt do mine and ive rode 80,000 miles stil doing fine been in shop twice in ten yrs that i couldnt fix it myself
