Oil Change on the MGB

Getting ready for the oil change...


The oil filter is accessed from the top and very easy to remove.


Some oil spills when removing the filter (had a pan under the car).


The engine bay is coated with a fine layer of oil/dirt.
The oil fill cap (shiny chrome) is pretty slippery and difficult to turn with your hands.

Used some large adjustable pliers to remove the fill cap.
It wasn't that tight...


Cleaned the filter seal interface surface before installing the new filter.


The replacement filter that I bought is smaller than the one I removed but the fit is correct.

The engine took about 4.5 quarts of new oil.

 I'll order this filter for the next time.
I think the Penzoil filter that I installed is fine but this one is significantly larger...
