About to do the first oil change on the Disco. Is it necessary to replace the sealing washer with every oil change? Do you guys just pick them up in bulk?

 

In nerly 90,000 miles, I have only changed mine one time. When I do my 3000 mile changes, I just take the washer off and put it back on upside down and it reseals fine every time.
Since you are doing your own oil changes, I would suggest a couple of oil filters to use, the 3001 K&N or the Mobil 1 filters, the rest are real junk. Also fill the new oil filter about 2/3 full with oil before installing it.

I'll have to remember that about filters... BritishAtlantic sent me a Cooper branded filter, IIRC.

 

Disco Mike,

Do you have any experience with "Crossland" filters? I know all the farmers back in the UK used themon their Roversso I've been using them so far as I can get them from an independant Rover place local to me.

 

Mike,
The correct K&N oil filter for the Discovery 4.0(according to my book anyway) is the HP 2004 is it not? Or have you found another size works better?
