A magnetic sump plug is a fiver well spent. You can do the oil change yourself. Buy a decent oil filter though as many cheap ones have no relief valve thingy and the oil drains out when not running. It refills when you start the engine but all those seconds of oil starvation when your engine most needs protection, all add up.
Hi Mark, I'm trying to find one of those magnetic sump plugs, but not having much luck (lots out there for Japanese cars!) Any suggestions?
Thanks, Paul

Nice one, I'll just wait to see if anyone can verify they're the same and then get one ordered!
